I'm finishing Mark Tabbert's A Deserving Brother on Washington's Masonic life in advance of a trip to Virginia next week. I'm interested in reading more about him. No specific aspects, maybe general biographies of his entire life. That may help me if I want to focus in on specific aspects. |

Washington's Crossing by David Hackett Fischer One of my favorite books about GW. An excellent read and was hard to put down. It basically covers the first year of the Revolutionary War, focusing on GW: His decisions, character, war strategy, etc. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/washingtons-crossing-david-hackett-fischer/1116780872 |

Condensed bio for the quick read https://www.amazon.com/George-Washington-Douglas-Southall-Freeman/dp/0678028346 Hardcore history people go for the seven volume complete set. Freeman's similar treatment of Robert Lee (four volumes) is also the definitive Lee bio. |
