Advance Praise for "The Unexpected George Washington"
"This is a biography that unquestionably lives up to its title.
Readers will discover numerous, often touching traits that they
never knew about the Father of the Country. Harlow Unger has
written a one-of-a-kind book that will please and fascinate
everyone."
--Thomas Fleming, author "Washington's Secret War: The Hidden
History of Valley Forge"
"It's hard to imagine George Washington as playful, tender, or
funny. But Harlow Unger searches to find these seldom-seen aspects
of the private man, and the result is a far more complete and
believable founding father."
-- James C. Rees, Executive Director, Historic Mount Vernon
Acclaim for Lafayette
"Harlow Unger has cornered the market on muses to emerge as
America's most readable historian. His new biography of the Marquis
de Lafayette combines a thoroughgoing account of the age of
revolution, a probing psychological study of a complex man, and a
literary style that goes down like cream."
--Florence King, contributing editor, "National Review"
"To American readers Unger's biography will provide a stark
reminder of just how near run a thing was our War of Independence
and the degree to which our forefathers' victory hinged on the help
of our French allies, marshalled for George Washington by his
'adopted' son, Lafayette."
--Larry Collins, coauthor, "Is Paris Burning?" and "O
Jerusalem!"
"An admirable account of his [Lafayette's] life and
extraordinary career on both sides of the Atlantic."
-- "The Sunday Telegraph" (London)
