Reviews

A very readable and deeply informative work that offers fresh views on Washington's life and character. The authors show considerable originality and insight in their analysis of the reciprocal influence between Washington's public and private lives.--Philander D. Chase, Papers of George Washington

George Washington: The Man behind the Myths is a splendid combination of narrative, analysis, and visual imagery. It makes an original contribution to Washington scholarship.--Don Higginbotham, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
