"After reading this book I'm hooked on American History. Loved the book although it was sometimes difficult reading in the old style of speaking and writing."
"This is an incredible book which makes George Washington come to life. Every American should read this book. I have a new understanding and appreciation for our first president."
"Is there any man in American history more crusted with political claptrap? Flexner's bio is marvelous in decrusting the man, while not vilifying him. I love this biography."
