Well, early Alzheimer's has set in for sure! There was a terrific book I read a year or two ago, called Citizen Washington. I cannot find the book, nor remember the author's name. A life of old Georgie. But the story of all the intrigues, double dealings, switched alliances and just plain savagery on the part of the white folks on both sides of the French and Indian Wars was very well told. And paints a rather pathetic picture of Washington as a strategist- especially in the later battles of the revolution.
