Book Reviews of Citizen Washington
Book Review: "Up close and personal" with a bird's eye view
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is written eight years after the publishing date because I just discovered Mr.Martin's books. Now that I have read all of them I believe that this is his masterpiece- so far. Mr. Martin's meticulous research and portrayal of Washington gives the reader a very intimate look at his life, loves, politics, military work, and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The author's "bird's eye view" (as if an eagle were narrating) of the countryside and the military clashes provides a scenic description as well as another viewpoint from above the action.
From Washington's youth to his death, this book allows the reader to become an aquaintance and confidante of one of our greatest patriots- his humanity, his frailities, his faults and his immense sense of patriotism and integrity. This book is not only entertaining but highly educational. I learn and appreciate more history from Mr. Martin's books than I ever
did from formal classes. I highly recommend this book as well as all Mr. Martin's other books and I can't wait for the next.
Summary of Citizen Washington
George Washington has just died and young Christopher Draper, whose uncle is publisher of the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE, sets off to find out about Washington's real nature. Specifically, he goes off in search of people who might explain why Martha Washington burned a collection of personal letters on the night her husband died.On the pretense of writing a biography, he brings the flesh and blood first president to life.Through interviews with such contemporaries as John and Abigail Adams and Alexander Hamilton, as well as numerous slaves and servants, a stunning portrait emerges of an ambitious, land-hungry young man - full of imperfections and personal struggles - who nonetheless transcended his limitations and became one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known."A deft, spicy, and exciting blend of fact and fiction."
