A journalist takes a close look at the Founding Father's creative accounting skills in "a very funny book" (The New York Times Book Review).

George Washington made a noble gesture of refusing payment for his services as commander in chief of the Continental Army -- but as this book reveals, he also took it as an opportunity to indulge his insatiable lust for fine food and drink, extravagant clothing, and lavish accommodations.

In a close analysis of the document that financed our Revolution, Marvin Kitman uncovers some surprising scandals and fascinating facts -- and serves each up with verve and wit.

"An intriguing network of historical detection." -- San Francisco Chronicle
