If you have already read a couple books about George Washington, you'll find this one a re-hash of many of the things you already know about him.
If you think you know a lot about him, you'll still learn a few things. There is a chapter about his attitude toward slavery and how he handled his own slaves as well as a chapter about the details of the pain and suffering of his death.

Realistic Visionary is divided by chapters that each have their own theme regarding Washington (i.e. his command presence, his relationships to people, his attitudes toward issues). Unfortunately, the author, Henriques, adds few revelations about Washington's personality. It's informative in the section about slavery and his marriage. The book suffers terribly from unforgivable repetition. Henriques uses quotes more than once in the same chapter. It's almost like he didn't have an editor.
