Washington’s Presidency Presented

There are many books available on Washington‘s life, but if you’re looking for one specifically on his presidency, this is your book. It is well written and clarifies some matters that are left ambiguous in others’ writings on Washington. And of course, it’s narrated by Mr. Runger. Enjoy!

I like loved the depiction of George Washington as one of The greatest figures in history.

I found the narrator to be hypnotic in the use of his voice. I read along with my book and thrilled as he brought the words in the page to life.
