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.

评分 评分作为美国开国之父，华盛顿的重要性是毋容置疑的。任何国家的成功都离不开第一步：独立。没有独立任何事情都不可能完成，所以说无论是杰斐逊、富兰克林、麦迪逊、亚当斯在他们自己方面的成功和华盛顿都是不可以比的。 华盛顿有着过人的领导力，他提拔的第一个人才，詹姆斯麦迪...
评分年前的美国大选，看特朗普和希拉里的针锋相对，着实让人捏了一把冷汗，尽管最后以希拉里的败北而告终，但我们不禁好奇美国的大选制度是如何诞生的，这就要追溯到美国刚建立时，也就不得不提到美国的缔造者乔治·华盛顿。此前，我对华盛顿的了解一直停留在中学历史课本里，他领...
