Washington's Crossing is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book written by David Hackett Fischer and part of the "Pivotal Moments in American History" series.

Using as his starting point, the famous painting Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emmanuel Leutze, Fischer continues through the shift in momentum resulting from this campaign.

Fischer proceeds through the aftermath and finishes with a discussion of how a new, American way of fighting developed during the campaign surrounding the crossing, including an entrepreneurial spirit and a policy of humanity.

The Americans' policy of humanity to their defeated opponents was so attractive that large numbers of the Hessian enemy stayed in America, and more returned with their families following the war.

Fischer's work is admired as one of the most comprehensive books on the critical and suspenseful turning point of the American War of Independence.
