George Washington by David O Stewart
Washington's rise constitutes one of the greatest self-reinventions in history. In his mid-twenties, this third son of a modest Virginia planter had ruined his own military career thanks to an outrageous ego. But by his mid-forties, that headstrong, unwise young man had evolved into an unassailable leader chosen as the commander in chief of the fledgling Continental Army. By his mid-fifties, he was unanimously elected the nation's first president. How did Washington emerge from the wilderness to become the single most essential force in the founding of the United States of America?David O. Stewartt is an award-winning novelist who turned to writing following a career as a lawyer in Washington, DC, where he defended accused felons and challenged unconstitutional government activities. He is the author of four prior books on American history, all of which have sold well and won awards. He was the president of the Washington Independent Review of Books until recently.
