Title: Great introduction to the most important Founding Father
Review: There are 330 other reviews on here that describe every possible aspect of this book, so I'll just describe how it applies to me.I read this book immediately after Founding Brothers, and it was the perfect next step. There's a reason another biography of Washington touts him as "Indispensable" in its title, and Ellis defines why that was the case with his usual clear and eminently readable prose. We get a concise yet descriptive story of Washington's entire life, from his beginnings as a soldier in Virginia to a national icon in the mold of Cincinnatus.Wonderful start for those looking to begin wading through all the recent Revolutionary War era biographies!
