As well as an expert in defence and fortification - some commentators may go as far as a genius - many contemporary accounts describe Kosciuszko as wholly modest, a mild and kind person who won the friendship of many influential figures, including Thomas Jefferson and General Nathaniel Greene. This is an account of Kosciuszko's actions and achievements, focusing on his contribution to the history of two nations rather than on his personal life. Accordingly, this material contains slightly extended narratives on the War of Independence, and on the conflicts in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
