  • "Captures the essence of Washington's career and character by recounting his life and examining his frailties, triumphs, ambitions, and ideals, in an illustrated work based on the 1974 abridgement of Flexner's four-volume biography."@en
  • "Flexner offers a rich, full perspective of Washington's character and career through period portraits, rare maps, and historical documents. Throughout his lifetime, Washington held a country together, kept the Continental army intact against great odds, and presided over a nation philosophically divided in culture, opinion, and practice."@en
  • "Captures the essence of Washington's career and character by recounting his life and examining his frailties, triumphs, ambitions, and ideals."@en
  • "The Washington on these pages is no marble statue or picture on a dollar bill. He is a youth forced to earn his way in the wilderness to gain entry to a world of privilege. A young war hero secretly brooding over the costly errors of his inexperience. An honorable husband deeply in love with a woman not his wife. A man of property siding with the dispossessed in rebellion against the Crown. A general inventing a new kind of war while fighting intrigue behind his back. A world-weary man longing for privacy yet virtually forced to take the presidency. A traditionalist who had to create a whole new concept of political authority. A slave owner who grew to despise slavery. A nobel, hot-tempered, strong, sometimes flawed, and always imposing human being whom we come at last to know as he really was."@en
  • "A "distillation" of the author's fourvolume work on the life of the first president of the United States."
