Hundreds Commemorate Anzac Day in Clutha

John R. Maass’s book 'From Trenton to Yorktown: Turning Points of the Revolutionary War' examines the true meaning of military 'turning points' and 'decisive battles' by analyzing five key moments from the American Revolutionary War. Maass contends that these terms are often misapplied, diluting their significance, and instead emphasizes that it is the consequences of events—rather than simply victories or battles—that define their importance. Using examples like the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Saratoga, Guilford Courthouse, Valley Forge, and Yorktown, the book demonstrates how turning points can include non-combat events and that not every victory is decisive. The work is both educational and engaging, offering readers a clearer framework for understanding pivotal moments in military history.
