Christopher Buckleyauthor of Washington Schlepped HereJoel Achenbach has written not only a superb history of Washington and the founding of the city named after him (despite his not wanting it to be), but a superbly readable history. It is a joy at every level. And I say this with genuine regret, for it is not easy for a Yale man to praise a Princeton man, but in this case, praise is more than due, and must be made., Walter Isaacsonauthor of Benjamin FranklinGeorge Washington had a magnificent obsession, his love for the Potomac River. With great flair and insight, Joel Achenbach uses this passion to humanize Washington and show how America was formed. Like the river itself, Achenbach's book flows powerfully and gracefully while connecting various elements that made a new nation., Philander D. ChaseSenior Editor of The Papers of George WashingtonJoel Achenbach has resurrected the fascinating but long neglected story of George Washington and the Potomac River, and he shows us why the indissolvable link between the man and his river played such an important role in the founding of an indissolvable new nation., Michael Lewisauthor of MoneyballThis book is both a thrilling business adventure story and a beautifully rendered study of George Washington's private character. I enjoyed it hugely., A. J. Langguthauthor of PatriotsThe zest to Joel Achenbach's writing provides a cheerful antidote to the dutiful stiffness that sometimes shrouds other portraits of America's greatest hero. Without in any way diminishing his subject, Achenbach reveals Washington's crotchets, land schemes and, above all, his sweeping, if flawed, vision for the new nation.
