Bryan Craig's Reviews > Blood of Tyrants: George Washington & the Forging of the Presidency

There are so many books on Washington these days. The strength of this book is Beirne's unique approach to his subject. He looks at Washington's military efforts in the Revolutionary War and how that influenced the creation of the Commander in Chief clause of the U.S. Constitution. I do wished he made more references to the actual deliberation of this clause and connect more to Washington. However, this does not detract from the overall work. His writing is great, this will be a fast read. I look forward to the author's future work.

I received this book from History Book Club's free book offer on Goodreads.
