Book Reviews of the His Excellency: George Washington
Customer Review: Very good but something short of Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
Professor Ellis delivers another very good book with "His Excellency". Much can be learned through his research and direct prose regarding George Washington, the founding of our Republic and the War that had to be fought to procure our Independence. However, after his award winning biography on Thomas Jefferson, American Sphinx, this seems a bit short on detail. Perhaps Ellis spoiled us all and the expectations are too high. Equally likely, is that the real information is in short supply on Washington with very few documents surviving and open to interpretation of historians. Very much to his credit, Ellis does not stretch credibility and opines only openly and where appropriate. This is a book that should be read by all interested in this fascinating period of our country's history.
