Making of the Prefident 1789

A "e;witty, funny and hysterically silly"e; political parody that dares to take on the Mount Vernon Machine (The New York Times). Lampooning the modern "e;campaign insider"e; books, this book asks: "e;How is it possible that a man with no military experience becomes a general? He loses more battles than he wins and becomes a war hero? He has absolutely no political opinions in the most sophisticated intellectual period of our history? He has no ambitions, and he wins?"e; Through careful research, and with plenty of laughs as well as a foreword by John Cleese journalist Marvin Kitman exposes George Washington's weaknesses for social climbing and high-stakes whist, not to mention his relationships with the Founding Girlfriends. "e;Hilarious . . . Will entertain and fascinate even those who think they hate history."e; Houston Chronicle
