See my notes below or Amazon for details and reviews.
Although reluctant to accept political roles he found his way into, he was purposeful in his every move-a true statesman who put the wellbeing of the nation over his desire for a quiet life.
He was a deeply private figure, cloaking himself in mystery despite the fame that followed him in later life. At every turn, he demonstrated an ability to make difficult decisions by relying on his strong moral compass during turbulent times when outcomes were far from certain-especially through the American Revolution and the early years of a newly formed government. The depth of Washington’s life is awe-inspiring. Chernow tracks the entirety of Washington’s celebrated life from childhood to his early experiences in the French and Indian War, and eventually through his role as commander of the Continental Army and years serving as American’s first president.
The definitive biography of George Washington.
