To this landmark biography of our first president, Joseph J. Ellis brings the exacting scholarship, shrewd analysis, and lyric prose that have made him one of the premier historians of the Revolutionary era. Training his lens on a figure who sometimes seems as remote as his effigy on Mount Rushmore, Ellis assesses George Washington as a military and political leader and a man whose “statue-like solidity” concealed volcanic energies and emotions.
Here is the impetuous young officer whose miraculous survival in combat half-convinced him that he could not be killed. Here is the free-spending landowner whose debts to English merchants instilled him with a prickly resentment of imperial power. We see the general who lost more battles than he won and the reluctant president who tried to float above the partisan feuding of his cabinet. His Excellency is a magnificent work, indispensable to an understanding not only of its subject but also of the nation he brought into being.

評分 評分華盛頓讓人佩服的一點是，不貪戀權利，既不想做國王，又不想當獨裁者，於是他開創瞭主動讓權的先例，一個至今美國任然奉行的先例，同時也鑄就瞭華盛頓的神話。當然，比起軍事打戰，他比不上老毛，當時在治國這方麵，他比老毛要強點，這或許就是人無完人。“一代天驕，成吉思汗...
評分這本書的原作者顯然是剝去瞭華盛頓一層又一層的光環，客觀的寫下瞭書中的文字。雖然翻譯過來後，看起來略顯平澀，但是還是有相當多的內容的。 書中最讓我驚訝的是，美國獨立戰爭期間的大部分時候，華盛頓麾下的大陸軍都不過兩萬人。華盛頓在這場戰爭之初，根本沒有想到會創...
