"A vividly written narrative that does [Washington] full justice as a man of the eighteenth century and as a bold and determined leader of the American Revolution."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer

George Washington is the human story of a man who turned an impoverished childhood and the frequent humiliations at the hands of a mother he feared and the British generals he admired into a career of rebellion and creation. When he had worn out and nearly bankrupted his allies, George Washington disbanded the victorious army he had forged and resigned to Congress, giving life to democratic government. George III once said that if Washington could give up power, he would be the greatest man of the eighteenth century. And Washington did. Twice. Even hundreds of years later, a large American public is keen to know the human story of our founding father.
