Ward (emeritus, history, U. of Richmond) biographically profiles 27 men and one woman from Virginia who served in the American Revolutionary War under the rank of general (four from the enlisted ranks). All are considered by Ward to have served with distinction and therefore deserving of greater recognition. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
