Washington: The Indispensable Man by James Thomas Flexner(Honoring Regina Lindsey)

[SouthWestZippy]

4 stars
This was a well-researched book. The chapters are broken down into different time periods of his life and show the home man as well as political Washington. It also includes people that came along and influenced his path in life and political adversaries. I enjoyed the illustrations throughout the book but I do have one complaint. I would have liked better maps of the areas. Some of them just pinpoint the direct area and a full picture of the whole territory would have been nice to see now and then.

In Memory of
Regina Lindsey rated it four stars and her review.
This is a good broad view of the life of the MAN George Washington rather than the mythological figure with which most people are familiar. Beginning with life in England the reader has an opportunity to see what changes take place in his life as he develops the philosophy from which Washington will govern.
