James Thomas Flexner wrote a 4 volume biography of George Washington generally considered the definitive biography of Washington. Flexner also produced a single book abridgement of his 4 volumes, which has been sitting on my bookshelf for sometime now, just waiting to be read.
I was happy to recently find this interview by Bill Moyers with Flexner regarding Washington and his writings. Seemingly, it was done in connection to the televised mini-series about Washington which aired on CBS in April 1984. I did try watching the mini-series however I did not make it far since I have been spoiled by the high production quality of the HBO mini-series on John Adams.
Nonetheless, it is fascinating to listen to Flexner and his thoughts on Washington.
