EVENT DETAILS
Barely a month after the Declaration of Independence was signed, General George Washington and his troops were on the brink of defeat, outmanned and outmaneuvered in Brooklyn. Experts bring to life the Battle of Brooklyn and reveal how, thanks to the heroism of a small group known as the “Immortal 400,” the Continental Army lived to fight another day.
Patrick K. O’Donnell is a best-selling military historian and the author of Washington’s Immortals: The Untold Story of an Elite Regiment Who Changed the Course of the Revolution. Richard Brookhiser (moderator) is the author of George Washington on Leadership as well as numerous other books on the Founders and their legacy.
