George Washington's Indispensable Men

Presented by Author Arthur S. Lefkowitz

Author, Arthur S. Lefkowitz will talk about his book: "George Washington's Indispensable Men: Alexander Hamilton, Tench Tilghman, and the Aides-de-Camp Who Helped Win American Independence."

On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate 250 years of independence. 

While history has immortalized George Washington, it has largely forgotten those who helped to propel him to greatness—the thirty-two men who served as his aides-de-camp during the Revolutionary War. Washington relied heavily on these men—among them a young Alexander Hamilton—for help in formulating policy and strategy.

"George Washington’s Indispensable Men" details the fascinating and sometimes tragic lives of these aides, providing a new and refreshing look at the American Revolution.

Presenter: Arthur S. Lefkowitz is known for tackling offbeat but interesting subjects that present a research challenge. All of his books deal with some aspect of the American Revolution and his unique subjects include the story of the American Turtle submarine; the 1775 Arnold Expedition; the wartime exploits of Aaron Burr and George Washington's Revolutionary War aides-de-camp. His latest book is titled "George Washington's Revenge".
