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 VernonAcclaim 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)

How does one explain the title of Unger’s book? I believe Unger’s hope was that, in 2006 when the book was published, not many would know the numerous interesting personal aspects of George Washington’s life. However, as I write this short review, I detect that a number of similar books were either just coming out or would come out. That said, Unger has a wonderful storytelling style that packs in all sorts of intriguing information. For instance, he explains quite a bit about Washington as the entrepreneurial farmer. In addition, he mentions that the 1793 yellow fever epidemic (aka “the American Plague”) may have saved our young nation and Washington himself, as it dispersed the French-favoring mobs roaming Philadelphia searching for Washington’s head, as he had proclaimed America neutral in the French Revolutionary Wars between England and France. This, together with the fact I discovered elsewhere that British General Cornwallis’ forces were significantly diminished by malaria, might sardonically make the mosquito an alternate candidate to the bald eagle for the symbol of the United States. Unger also claims Washington was 6 foot 3 and Lafayette was 6 foot 4. I can’t tell where he got this information. Most information says Washington was 6 foot 2 (even with Washington's undertaker claiming 6 foot 3.5 inches -- with presumably pointed toes), still allowing 6 foot 4 French Admiral de Grasse to call Washington “mon petite general.” I don’t recall Unger discussing Lafayette’s exact height in his earlier book “Lafayette,” and most sketches/paintings at the time would yield Lafayette’s height being somewhere between 5 foot 10 and 6 foot 1. My own estimate for Lafayette’s height, mentioned in my book “George Washington’s Liberty Key,” is 5 foot 11. Bottom line, I "expect" I found the book a great read.Check out one of William J. Bahr’s books:  George Washington's Liberty Key: Mount Vernon's Bastille Key – the Mystery and Magic of Its Body, Mind, and Soul , a best seller at Mount Vernon.
