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.

評分华盛顿让人佩服的一点是，不贪恋权利，既不想做国王，又不想当独裁者，于是他开创了主动让权的先例，一个至今美国任然奉行的先例，同时也铸就了华盛顿的神话。当然，比起军事打战，他比不上老毛，当时在治国这方面，他比老毛要强点，这或许就是人无完人。“一代天骄，成吉思汗...
