I haven't read that book, or any of Willard Sterne Randall's work, but I have read quite a few books by Brian Kilmeade.
One of Brian Kilmeade's books indicated that George Washington had claim to tens of thousands of acres of property (from the French and Indian Wars) and he resisted joining the Revolutionary War effort until the Governor of Virginia said he would nullify those claims. The interesting thing is that King George III had already nullified those land grants and reserved that land for the Native Americans, but George Washington was hoping for that to be overturned.
