Purchase options and add-ons

The #1 New York Times bestselling book for many weeks, Jack Levin presents a beautifully designed account of George Washington’s historic crossing of the Delaware River and the decisive Battle of Trenton, with a foreword by his son, #1 New York Times bestselling author and radio host Mark R. Levin.

With the warm-hearted patriotism and passion he brought to his beautiful volume Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address Illustrated, Jack E. Levin illuminates a profound turning point of the American Revolution: the decisive Battle of Trenton and its prelude—General George Washington leading his broken and ailing troops in a fleet of small wooden boats across the ice-encased Delaware River.

While one iconic nineteenth-century painting made the crossing a familiar image, the significance of the against-all-odds victory put into motion on Christmas night, 1776, cannot be told enough. Jack Levin brings to light several vital perspectives, and draws his text from General Washington’s letter to the Continental Congress to describe the amazing account of the unlikely defeat of the Hessian army at Trenton.

As a father, Jack Levin inspired his sons—including Mark Levin, and Douglas, and Robert—with his love for America. Around the family table, he would share the facts and events of the nation’s founding, spark lively debates, and pass along his extensive knowledge and his deep and abiding patriotism. Featuring Revolution-era artwork, portraiture, and maps, George Washington: The Crossing imparts the same vivid, intimate telling, that of a father to his sons—the kind of history lesson that lives in the heart forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars History comes alive! Stunning!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2013

The cross media mixture of classical artwork, etchings, and historical documents is Jack Levin's signature style. This fantastic book is a must have for school children learning about our Revolutionary War. As the author correctly points out, the Battle of Trenton was one of the first major turning points in the war that secured our nation as independent and sovereign.

I purchased this book in both the hardcover and the ebook formats. I am happy to say that the ebook has pictures that are clickable so you can zoom in for detail. I especially liked the maps, but then, I'm a map person! I greatly enjoyed reading the words of General Washington as he related the details of the battle to John Hancock, then president of the Continental Congress.

A number of years ago, Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen wrote a historical fiction titled 'To Try Mens Souls' which gave a detailed account of the march on Trenton from a typical soldier's point of view. The internal conflict and the harsh conditions of winter were fully described. Honestly though, it took longer to read than the actual battle took to win. 'George Washington: The Crossing' is a great compliment, and both would make a great pairing of books in any library.

Lastly, I think I echo many out there when I write that I would love to be a mere fly on the wall at a Levin family dinner. Jack Levin is not only a remarkable teacher, he is also a shining example of a father. His passion for our country is evident every time I turn on my radio at 6pm Eastern. For this I say 'Thank You sir, and may you have a very Happy Father's Day'.

Home schooler families - buy it. Period.
Librarians looking for a book to add to your juvenile history section, please review. I believe you will like what you see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our First Major Victory That Turned The Tide Of War
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015
Verified Purchase
Great book for elementary school age children. It is suitable to be read to kids from 1st grade to 4th grade. A 2nd grader could read the book alone. What is nice about this edition being that if you read it to younger kids, there's a picture on each page that parallels the text on that page. And if the child is reading the book alone, these same pictures will maintain their interest.

The content of this book reminds us of George Washington's bravery as a statesman and soldier. It tells of the lead up and actual combat involved in our first significant battlefield victory over the British on Christmas 1776. This was the battle that actually saved our Revolution from sure defeat. Although there were many hard times to follow between this battle and the surrender of the British at Yorktown, nevertheless it teaches the reader about perseverance, dogged determination, and the unwillingness to surrender at any cost.

This is a great Colonial victory over the Hessians who were mercenaries fighting for the crown. There were many heroes on both side of the conflict. This was simply one story of many that illustrates our determination to attain our freedom from England. This is a story that should be read by kids of all ages. This was Washington at his very best. This was the victory that turned the tide of the revolution towards a colonial victory and ultimately our acknowledged independence. Without Washington and that one, cold crossing at Christmas 1776, things might have turned out a lot differently for this great nation we now call these United States Of America. The author, Mark Levin did a masterful job in telling this all important account of the Battle Of Trenton.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Patriotic and Passionate Book, Beautifully Illustrated!
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
The Crossing is an outstanding, passionate and truly patriotic book. History truly is brought to life and the pictures seem to almost leap off the pages. It is a beautifully written and stunningly illustrated little book which can be enjoyed by people of many ages. I am in the middle of reading this book to my youngest son (age 8). He is truly enjoying it along with the rest of my family. It depicts the perilous crossing of the Delaware so succinctly and powerfully that it almost made me feel as if I was with Washington on this journey along with the other American heroes. It also is the perfect "shot in the arm" of hope that we need in this horrific Age of Obama. It reminds us of where we come from, and how Americans have never surrendered the fight and how we must continue to battle to save our country. It is clear that Mr. Jack Levin is a true patriot and instilled his entire family with true American values. It is obvious that every word that is written comes from the heart as does the beautiful preface written by his son, Mr. Mark Levin. I highly recommend this beautiful little book to everyone who loves America and truly understands what makes America so great. May G-d bless the entire Levin family with long lives, health, and prosperity always!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolutely Incredible Book
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013

George Washington: The Crossing is a "must read" for every American and for everyone, I think. It is a beautifully written book, and from the beginning to the end, it draws you in and it makes you feel as though you are there with George Washington and his men. You can almost feel the terrible cold of that winter. It is such a vital part of our American history and of who we are. It makes me extremely proud to be an American, and I'm grateful to Jack E. Levin for writing this beautiful book. Thank you, Mr. Levin. After reading it, I seemed to be standing a little taller and prouder, and it made me feel as though I had met George Washington personally, and could feel the emotion, the strength, courage and the fortitude of this great man and his incredible men. George Washington and his men never, ever gave up, and we can never give up, for America is the greatest country on this earth and we must do all we can to ensure she remains the greatest country. This book will always occupy an important place in my little library at home.
