Sailstice sailors have a chance to win one of ten copies of:

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S GREAT GAMBLE
And the Sea Battle that Won the American Revolution

By James L. Nelson
Author of Benedict Arnold’s Navy and George Washington’s Secret Navy

Winner of the Samuel Eliot Morison Award from the Naval Order of the United States

Students of the American Revolution know that Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, effectively ended the Revolutionary War. What few realize, however, is that Washington brought it about with a wild roll of the dice, betting the very existence of his army on the French achieving control of the sea, a thing that the French had never done before. It was a great gamble that paid off.
