'This new entry in the George Washington revival underway for the past four decades makes an important contribution in the genre of selected writings. The approach, excerpting liberally, is designed to invoke a politically-minded narrative of Washington's life as Washington might have imagined it. In the process it highlights most of the salient elements necessary to a comprehensive account.' W. B. Allen, Michigan State University
