| | 9. |  | His Excellency: George Washington
from Vintage
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
The modern "pyschological" biography attempts what is probably an impossibility: to penetrate and elucidate the core "personality" or "character" of an historic figure. The danger that the resulting portrait may be a novel masquerading as a biography, a creation of the author rather than a rendition... more info
