The engineering genius and military boldness of a young Polish officer brought about a turning point in the American Revolution that ended the British threat in the northeast. This historic drama documents the accomplishments of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, whose ideals and actions contributed greatly to our national independence.

The story begins in May 1777 with his arrival at Ticonderoga, where failure to heed his advice resulted in the fall of the fort. In September he organized the smashing success of the American forces in a 16-day battle, which was achieved largely because of his thorough preparation and daring strategy. An absorbing documentary on the life of a little-known hero.
