Possibly the most poorly written book I have ever had the the misfortune to read. Why I even bothered to finish it I don't know. In both style and substance it is woefully deficient. Written from a conservative perspective this book has become a favorite among the "Washington was a fundamentalist" crowd. A far better, and more credible Washington treament from a conservative perspective is Richard Brookhiser's "Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington"

No matter who you are, or what your prejudice is regarding Washington as a conservative icon...SKIP THIS BOOK!!!
