It is Dec. 17, 1776. Hounded by superior British forces, his army decimated by disease, desertion and lack of funds, General George Washington faces the unthinkable: he is losing the war for American Independence. A week later, on Christmas Eve, Washington will make one of the most courageous decisions in military history. Staking everything on a risky surprise attack against a garrison of battle-hardened Hessian mercenaries, Washington sets out across the ice-choked Delaware River.

  • "It was a dark time for the breakaway Colonies, and the Revolutionary War appeared headed for failure, when General George Washington launched a surprise attack on the Hessian mercenaries at the Battle of Trenton. The daring plan turned the tide of the war and established Washington as the undisputed leader of the fledgling nation. This video brings to life Washington's historic passage across the Delaware on Christmas night, 1776 and the lopsided fight that followed. Incredibly, not a single soldier of the depleted Continental Army was lost."@en
