Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow, biography, 904 pages, 14 hrs 20 mins on audio.
Chernow's excellent account of the life and career of George Washington is uniformly well-written and fascinating. Chernow tells of Washington's early days with his father, his mother, and his many siblings and half-siblings (George was the eldest child of Augustine Washington and his second wife, Mary). When Washington's father died in 1743, George's hopes for a first-rate education died with him. Washington always regretted not having had the best education, but apparently he was able to lead a full life without it. A great read.
