 Eye Opening - High Respect for a GREAT MAN February 15, 2009

I just got done with this book. WOW - I couldn't leave it alone. This book consumed my thoughts and drew me in to the life of an unappreciated (in these times) GREAT MAN. George was HERO in every way. Without him, our country would not BE. This coming Washington's Birthday and every one from now on will have new meaning for me. My hat goes off to one of America's Best Men. This book is a story that should be required reading for every child in school. Well written and easy to absorb. Highly Recommended.

This is one of several books that should be on the shelf in homes of Americans. The insights into our first--and undoubtedly greatest--President is a must-read. Don't be put off by the size...use it as an encyclopedia.

The Real George Washington (American Classic Series)
This book should be required reading in every high school. It should replace history text books about the American Revolution. I was very disappointed that the public library did not have one single copy. So much is in this book that connects to what we are or need to be today.

This book is experiencing a rebirth among readers these days. I think that our growing concerns about America's current political and economic course are motivating many of us to learn more about our country's roots. And George is a great place to start.
The last I heard much about George Washington was in elementary school. I remember the cherry tree story, but my knowledge of this gentleman was pretty sketchy beyond that. I had the impression that he was a good and honorable man, but again, I had few specifics.
This book took care of that. This amazing man makes all of our contemporary Presidents pale in comparison. His interests were in strengthening our country and helping it to grow, PERIOD. He lead our country honorably and with little self-interest, or so it seems.
This book should be required reading for every US Presidential candidate.
My teenaged son hates to read but he devoured this book March 27, 2009

Easy to read, informative and leaves you with a lasting impression of the man and the times he lived in. Both my young sons loved this book but one son's teacher refused to let him do a book report on it --demanding instead he pick something "topical."
