Title: Now I know why I think Washington is the greatest President
Review: I have always considered Washington a great President, but knew little about him. From reading the book: 1. I was amazed how often Washington extricated himself from difficult political situations simply by being forthright and honest. 2. I never knew the large role he played in the Constitutional Convention. 3. I learned he purposely wanted to step down as president to demonstrate our new govt could continue peacefully (this "experiment" was all new). 4. I now appreciate his large role in guiding the new country. Its beginnings were more tenuous than I had thought. While reading the book, I often wondered if the country would have survived without Washington. I easily read the book. I would put it down after finishing a chapter and usually find myself reading again withing the half-hour. The facts were well supported (documented), but not a dry textbook presentation.
Is the review positive or negative?
