Acclaim for The Unexpected George Washington.
It's hard to imagine George Washington as playful, tender, or funny. But Harlow Unger searches to find these seldom-seen aspects of the private man, and the result is a fare more complete and believable founding father. - James C. Rees, Executive Director, Historic Mount Vernon
An intimate view of the American hero who managed to follow his ambitions to great power without being disdained for them. - Publishers Weekly
