I enjoyed reading the book, but contemplate the accuracy of the book. Most books list their sources but this one does not give a complete list. The best writings on George Washington are the 4 volume set of his life by James Thomas Flexner. I have read 17 books about George Washington and all of them state that he took no payment for service as General of the American Continental Army or President of the United States. Benjamin Franklin was given too much credit for his work in enlisting the French in the Revolutionary war. There were others that worked tirelessly in this effort while Benjamin Franklin was too busy socializing with the ladies. John Adams did so much more for our Country and the war effort than Benjamin Franklin.I have read many books on Benjamin Franklin and read at least 10 or more on Adams. The best books on John Adams I have read is Volumes 1 & 2 by Page Smith. The writing on the battles very interesting. I enjoyed the footnotes in the book with tid bits of information.
