Washington makes mistakes, is sensitive to criticism, and is slow to accept blame, but he is also the greatest man of his age, a relentless pragmatist who could nonetheless envision what a free and united America could be for \"\"millions unborn.\"\"Rather than revisiting Washington's life in its entirety, Henriques constructs a biographical portrait by addressing the vital themes and events through which Washington the man is revealed. What emerge most clearly in \"\"Realistic Visionary\"\" are Washington's successful struggle to channel his monumental personal ambition into public service and his unrivaled ability to turn his ambitious visions for the fledgling nation into reality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097637916945,"sku":"CIN0813927412G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50265390579985,"sku":"CIN0813927412A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51323720859921,"sku":"CIN0813927412VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813927412.jpg?v=1763475713"},{"product_id":"death-of-george-washington-book-peter-r-henriques-9780931917356","title":"The Death of George Washington","description":"Throughout his life George Washington demonstrated a capacity to face danger with determination and to suffer hardship with dignity. At no time were these qualities more evident than in his final struggle on December 14, 1799. On that morning, at home on his Mount Vernon estate, George Washington was mortally stricken with a frightening illness. Although he would perish before the day was out, Washington demonstrated great physical courage throughout what quickly became a brutal struggle. In this final battle Washington secured his most personal victory and enduring legacy. George Washington died as he lived, the model of a virtuous life courageously lived. In this engaging narrative Peter Henriques distills years of scholarly and medical research, bringing the final hours of George Washington into dramatic focus. His work lends new insight into the great man's attitudes toward life and death, and in so doing, reveals the true nature and quality of Washington as a national hero.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50368363725073,"sku":"CIN0931917352G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51248551821585,"sku":"GOR014207399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0931917352.jpg?v=1751140659"},{"product_id":"george-washington-book-peter-r-henriques-9780813954189","title":"George Washington","description":"A concise, compelling biography of Washington and the forces that drove him     What drove George Washington to become the preeminent man of his time and to secure a lasting reputation as one of history's great leaders? In this concise and engaging profile, Peter Henriques - a renowned Washington expert - recounts how Washington possessed a desperate desire to be seen, admired, honored, and above all to be remembered. Over the course of his life, Washington deliberately and self-consciously shaped his public image. Even his decision, dictated in his last will and testament, to emancipate the men and women he had held in slavery during his lifetime related directly to his desire to be perceived as honorable after his death and to safeguard his posthumous reputation. The complicated and controversial question of Washington and slavery is examined in an afterword to the biography. Written with a clarity that comes only from deep understanding, this biography goes right to the heart of what made Washington live, and succeed as the greatest of America's Founding Fathers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52496558096657,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52496558194961,"sku":"NIN9780813954189","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-r-henriques.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
