‘TRULY MAGNIGICIENT . . . A WELL-RESEARCHED, WELL-WRITTEN, AND ABSOLUTELY DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY.’ – ANDREW ROBERTS, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation. With a breadth and depth matched by no other one-volume life of Washington, this crisply paced narrative carries the reader through his adventurous early years, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding over the Continental Convention, and his magnificent performance as The usa’s first president. In this groundbreaking book, in keeping with massive research, Chernow shatters ceaselessly the stereotype of a stolid, unemotional man, and brings to vivid life a dashing, passionate man of fiery opinions and lots of moods. With a dramatic sweep worthy of its subject, Washington is a magisterial work from one of our most elegant storytellers. ‘The most productive, most comprehensive, and most balanced single-volume biography of Washington ever written.’ – Gordon S. Wood, The New York Review of Books ‘Nothing short of phenomenal . . . never before has Washington been rendered so tangibly in one of these smart, tenaciously researched volume as Chernow’s opus . . . a riveting read.’ – Douglas Brinkly, Los Angeles Times ‘ I will’t recommend it highly enough-as history, as epic, and, not least, as entertainment. It is a luxuriantly pleasurable as a kind of great big sprawling, sweeping Victorian novels.’ – Hendrik Hertzberg, The New Yorker ‘ Ron Chernow has done justice to this solid flesh, the human frailty, and the dental miseries of his subject-and also to his immense historical importance . . . This can be a magnificently fair, full-scale biography.’ – The Economist
