Why read it?
1 author picked Washington's Gay General as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I knew nothing about this fella going in! von Steuben accomplished so much–but how much of that was via lies, deceit, and disregard for those who didn't fit with his personal plan for success? He was a trailblazer for gay leaders but problematic just the same. This well-researched, well-paced tale moves along well, with fantastic illustrations and welcome input from the authors on how von Steuben's story affects and compares to their own lives as gay men.
From Christopher's list on graphic novels personal stories set in the past.
