At times, Lafayette appears to be as proud, ambitious, and headstrong as his detractors have claimed. More often, he emerges as a mature and judicious leader, one who carried great weight as a principal architect of French-American cooperation. The letters also show his ability to understand American attitudes toward military and civil authority, and they indicate his realistic comprehension of strategy, tactics, and logistics.The volume is divided into five parts, each of which is introduced by a headnote summarizing Lafayette's main activities and the broader context of revolutionary events of the period. It makes clear the tensions and disharmonies between the allies that developed during the months of military inaction and fiscal difficulties, and gives us a rare look at the human side of the military effort at its highest levels. 606 $aHistory 615 0$aHistory. 676 $a944.040924 700 $aLafayette$b Le Marquis de, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01497823 702 $aIdzerda$b Stanley J. & Crout, Robert Rhodes & Kramer, Lloyd S. & Pike, Linda J. & Quinn, Mary Ann 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794289503321 996 $aLafayette in the age of the american revolution-selected letters and papers, 1776-1790$93723086 997 $aUNINA
