Title: High-school level reading and often off subject
Review: This book is easy to read and very well organized into small 1-5 page sections for each part of the story, but it is written at more of a high school level than a serious historical biography. The most disappointing aspect, though is that the book often drifts away from its subject for a few pages or even whole chapters! It ends up being more of a revolutionary era history book with emphasis on G. W. than an actual biography of Washington. I would recommend this book for a first read about the era but it is a poor choice for the serious scholar or history buff.
