Without question the finest full biography of George Washington ever produced. Incisive, complete, and beautifully written. Superlatives too numerous to mention. Simply a masterpiece. Highest Recommendation.

A trifecta of excellence. 1.)Brilliant story of a long and eventful life that historians thought could not be recovered. 2.) Vibrant portrait of a city in transition from the colonial period through the tumult of war and into the early republican era. 3.) Classic study of an extended family that made and remembered history.

I was truly stunned by the complex and fascinating biography of this woman and her family. The many advances in medical research owe so much to her cells but it became apparent that we should be afraid for the future of ethics in this field. The murky past present and future of patient rights and in fact human rights should be of concern to all.

A fascinating chronicle of the life of one of the most influential -- and least understood -- women in history. Born into a relentlessly ambitious and bloodthirsty family, Cleopatra used her wiles, her sexual prowess, and an enduring love for the Egyptian people to challenge the absolute might of Rome and change the entire world.
