Ryan Marx’s Reviews > George Washington: The Forge of Experience, 1732-1775 > Status Update

I’m surprised to find myself so interested by this book. Flexner is adept with prose in a way that makes this easy to read, understand, and sustain curiosity for Washington’s experiences.

Though the start of the book throws upon Washington the epithet of hero far too often, it shies not from depicting him in unflattering light.
