No, this [Revolutionary] War would be different from any other that had come before it. Of that Washington felt sure. It would not be a fight to the death, nor could it be simply a clash of armies. If the Americans wanted to emerge victorious from this conflict, they would not try to overpower their enemy; they would simply refise to back down or go away. They didn't need to be conquering heroes - they just needed to survive.
(from George Washington's Secret Six, by Brian Kilmeade)
