Washington: A Life

Chernow’s masterful biography breathes new life into the enigmatic figure of George Washington. With meticulous research and engaging prose, he peels back layers of myth to reveal a complex, flawed, yet undeniably great man. From his early struggles to his triumphs as general and president, Washington’s journey is vividly portrayed. I found myself captivated by the personal details and inner conflicts that humanized this American icon. A must-read for history buffs and casual readers alike.
