This book was just over 300 pages, so if you are looking for a fairly short book, here you go. I am still working through my selections for the year, reading anything short or already partially finished. This is really going to help my goal of downsizing for moving while also clearing out my massive TBR list.

Anyway, the book is a decently researched shot biography of George Washington. If you are wanting something comprehensive about Washington without having to purchase a massive tome, this might be something for you to look into. I liked the fact that this book did not just cover his military and political strategies, but also showed him as a human being...with real emotions and other issues. We are often only taught about Washington, and others of this vein, as perfect people who are simply genius at what they have done. It's a little bit unrealistic to teach that way, because they are flawed people. I prefer a more honest view of historical figures, which this book provided on a small scale. This is the second book that I have read by this author, and I enjoyed both of them. I have two more by this author, and I am looking forward to reading them as well.
