Book Review of - Washington - By Paul Vickery- Review by-Lisa Nelson

The reason, I chose Washington: A Legacy of Leadership by Paul Vickery and Stephen Mansfield  was for the most part because I felt that although I knew some about Washington as leader, I know very little about  Washington the man.

Throughout the book, there are  many lesser-known facts about Washington’s life  based much of the book on original sources such as Washington’s own letters. He has seemingly viewed Washingtons life, in  mostly in a positive light but didn't forget to offer of the mistakes he'd made in life as well!

Another point,  that makes this book very interesting is the presence of a large number of pictures and illustrations depicting various events from Washington’s life and America’s history.

If you are a history buff or a biography lover, you will no doubt love this book, but if not, be prepared for a long read.
