Details the struggles of the Continental Congress as they faced diplomatic successes, internal crises, and challenges securing an honorable peace. Explains how Congress's novice diplomats in Europe pleaded for arms, money, and more from France while scouring Europe for other allies; while leaders in Vermont, defying claims to the would-be state from New York, test Congress's patience. The betrayal of Benedict Arnold tests delegates' faith in their own military men. Contains 15 illustrations and 3 maps.
