Review title: I must say that I prefer Flexner
Product review: Although I greatly appreciate the tremendous historical significance of Freeman's work, I have to say that I strongly prefer Flexner's 1-volume abridgement of "Washington: The Indispensible Man" over this one. Although I think the scholarship and scope of both are excellent, Flexner is much more readable and enjoyable in my opinion. Maybe historians would prefer Freeman, but I think most lay readers (like me) would prefer Flexner.Joseph Ellis' "Excellency" is also a great read, but not comprehensive enough to challenge Freeman and Flexner as the best single-volume biography of Washington. I am currently reading Ron Chernow's biography of Washington, and I think it will give Flexner a good run for his money.
