Fantastic Book

I highly recommend this book about the life and times of George Washington. The book is detailed (drawing upon historical documents) and gives a clear picture of his entire life. A rather long book. But, well worth the time to read. By reading this book one can easily see how Washington's personal code of ethics and value system started and matured.

George Washington the most respectible president

This book is one of the greatest worthwhile books I have ever read. Leaning about the real George Washington brought tears to my eyes in several of the chapters. How much this man was respected and how much he was loved by the people of this country and how much of his personal life he gave to his country is a standard that none of our recent presidents could even come close to. Should be a required reading for every highschool student.

A great book about a great man!

I recently took this book with me to read on a trip to South Africa. The book is outstanding in every way. I will recommend this book to every reader that I know. Washington was one of the great men of U.S. and world history. The book does a great job of bringing George Washington to life for the reader.

Get to know the REAL man...

This book was well written.. and it is very easy to read... even for kids. George Washington was a man of character. He is a great example to follow. This book will help you understand why he did what he did... why he refused to be King George... why he got involved in the revolutionary war. And after reading this book, you will gain a tremendous love and respect for the founding father of our country. And you will understand why they called him "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen".

Well documented historical narrative.

The authors have gone to great effort to include and document quotations from original documents including personal communications. In a very readable style, they cover Washington's life, the historical events taking place during his life and his role in them. I found it to be enjoyable reading as well as an excellent research source.
