[Mike Curtis · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick and basic look at the life of our first president. If you’re looking for an in-depth portrait of George Washington, this may be too broad for you, but if you just want a better picture of who the man was and a glimpse of the major events of his life, then this could be the book for you.
From his childhood, through the French and Indian War, the Revolution, his presidency, and his later years - you do get a quick look at the life of George Washington.

[Netanella · Rating 3 out of 5]

George Washington went down much more smoothly than Ben Franklin did. Maybe it's because it's hard to write a short bio of George without getting into the logistics of the Revolutionary War and the Constitution and George's presidential terms. There wasn't much here about George's personal life, or his personality for that matter, that isn't what most school children know about the U.S.'s first president. Still, it was fun reading for me.

Basic Washington

A short biography of George Washington. Some of the writing is a bit odd, and at least in the Kindle version, there are a few typos and grammatical errors. The information and quotes are well researched and the last couple chapters on his later life as well as the account of his early life were interesting reads. If you’re looking for a brief intro to Washington, this book is worth looking into.

George Washington

Well written, informative, and serves as a good introductory read of the father of our nation.
Exemplary leadership skills coupled with humility, determined self control was strict diciplinarian, passion in his pursuit for liberty, disdained tyranny, thoughtful, wise in wisdom, Self Sacrificing, compassionate,tender and loving husband, stepfather,brother and son. All these attributes are seen in this “Captivating” biographical history.
