Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Biography.
Despite the reverence his name inspires, Washington remains a lifeless waxwork for many amateur historians, worthy but dull. In this groundbreaking work, Chernow dashes forever the stereotype of a stolid, unemotional man. A strapping six feet, Washington was a celebrated horseman, elegant dancer, and tireless hunter, with a fiercely guarded emotional life. Chernow brings to vivid life a dashing, passionate man of fiery opinions and many moods. In this unique biography, Ron Chernow takes us on a page-turning journey through all the formative events of America's founding. With a dramatic sweep worthy of its giant subject, Washington is a magisterial work from one of our most elegant storytellers. By the author of The House of Morgan and Titan.
