Jeffrey Poore’s Reviews > You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington > Status Update

Washington was a complicated man who played a significant part in the revolutionary war and didn’t seek the presidency but answered the call. His politics alienated a lot of his closest friends and allies, but he did get the US through its infancy as the new government worked itself out. This is a short but comprehensive biography that sticks to facts and doesn’t embellish his memory in hyperbole.
