By George!

Other than one of my favorite actors playing him in the awesome John Adams series on HBO, I've never really gotten to know a lot about King George III. Reading about him in the beginning of this book, I must say, he sounds pretty amazing. A mix of JFK and Thomas Jefferson, without the adultery of slaves. Pretty sure what I view(ed) him as being has been shaped by the old maxim that history is written by the winners. Fascinating.
