Description
George Washington, the first president of the United States, has long been a figure of reverence and respect. This biography, written by acclaimed author Ron Chernow, offers a fresh and nuanced portrait of the man behind the myth.
Chernow's meticulously researched narrative takes the reader on a journey through Washington's adventurous early years, his heroic exploits during the Revolutionary War, and his presiding over the Constitutional Convention. With a breadth and depth unmatched by other one-volume biographies, this book shatters the stereotype of Washington as a stolid, unemotional figure, revealing instead a dashing, passionate man of fiery opinions and many moods.
