“not merely a well-written biography of a man who achieved fame as much through circumstance and by reason of outstanding ability, but is also a succinct account of many of the incidents and personalities of the War of Independence. It should be welcomed by admirers of Washington who are tired of the sacrosanct air surrounding him and by readers of American history and biography; it should also find a place in public, historical and college libraries and, of course, in all collections of ‘Washingtoniana’.” - Kirkus Reviews



Marcus Cunliffe traces the ancestral background, the childhood, the growth, the failures and achievements of George Washington. He shows readers a real person - flawed, ambitious, impatient of criticism - providing a portrait of one of America's greatest leaders.

This brilliant study of Washington’s life and times separates fact from fiction to present a man stripped of myth – his great and lasting achievements all the more admirable for his human fallibility.

MARCUS CUNLIFFE (1922-1990) was a British-born historian who wrote more than a dozen books on American history and literature. A commentator on American life, he had been University Professor at George Washington University since 1980. He was a prolific writer, focusing extensively on George Washington and the early history of the United States. George Washington: Man and Monument was first published in 1958.
