Description

From National Book Award-Winner Ron Chernow, a landmark biography of George Washington. In Washington: A Lifestyle famous biographer Ron Chernow supplies a highly nuanced picture of the daddy of our country. With a width and level matched by no other one-volume life of Washington, this crisply paced story holds the audience through his struggling boyhood, his bright achievements in the French and Indian Conflict, his development of Mount Vernon, his brave exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding within the Constitutional Convention, and his wonderful performance as America's first leader. Regardless of the respect his name motivates, California remains an useless waxwork for all Americans, worthy but boring.
