Realistic Visionary by Peter R Henriques
Seeks to humanize George Washington without diminishing him. This book constructs a biographical portrait by addressing the vital themes and events through which Washington the man is revealed. Washington's political life is examined, and this work tackles the role slavery played in Washington's life.
"A deeply thoughtful appraisal of Washington's career and character... The chapters on slavery and religion are especially beguiling Henriques's approach allows him to zoom in on the most salient and controversial issues with a focused biography." - Joseph J. Ellis, Mount Holyoke College, author of His Excellency: George Washington "Henriques' take on Washington and slavery is full, rich, and offers a rounded picture of Washington fairly." - Roger Wilkins, Clarence J. Robinson Professor of History and American Culture, George Mason University"
