Summary: 1 Stars
In every respect, except for the subject, this book fails to earn your hard earned dollars. Poor editing, dull writing, and a lack of insightful analysis combine to eliminate this work from my suggested reading list. If it were not for a commitment of mine to finish every book I begin, then I would have stopped slogging through Clark's book around page twenty. My suffering reached its zenith when I read the subtitle he chose for a section, "General Howe Funks Out." This subtitle was only slightly worse than, "Washington is liked." With subtitles like these I seriously considered breaking my rule of completing every book I read. Nevertheless, the numerous passages Clark quotes from Washington's papers and diary entries give the book some merit; Washington himself could redeem the worst of books. But, why wade through Harrison's tiresome prose when you could simply read George Washington's diaries and gain all the merit while losing all the dross?
