Reviews

Once in a while a book comes along to remind us that ... America more vibrant than a mere list of principles. ... The Ascent of George Washington is just such a book
*Washington Post on THE ASCENT OF GEO WASHINGTON*

Comprehensive and engaging
*Jon Meacham on ALMOST A MIRACLE*

Arguably the best, and certainly one of the most stimulating, single-volume histories of the American Revolution
*PW on ALMOST A MIRACLE*

Ferling vividly evokes the political turmoil of the post-Revolutionary years. Even as he takes the Founders off their pedestals, their accomplishments only gain in stature
*The New Yorker on A LEAP IN THE DARK*
