"A brilliant book. . . . It is pleasant to read, arresting, decisive, concise . . . a tour de force."--Washington Post"One of the most imaginative and suggestive works on the Washington years. McDonald has demonstrated in this work that presidential history can still be lively and compelling."--History: Reviews of New Books"Lucid, pungent, and convincing. Likely to become the standard brief account of Washington's administration."--Historian"To a thrice-told tale, McDonald brings such zest and imaginative reconstruction that the narrative is shot through with new meaning. Nowhere will the student of American political history find a more explicit explanation of the early relations between Congress and the presidential office."--Presidential Studies Quarterly"A deeply provocative and exciting book."--Journal of American History"Intelligent, knowledgeable, incisive, lucid . . . [and] entertaining."--Journal of Southern History
