| 520 | |a "Bestselling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands explores the life of George Washington, the man who, by his singular virtues, led the American army to independence and set the fledgling republican government on its path to democracy and freedom George Washington was a singular figure in American history, and he remains unmatched. In his military career, Washington was more than just a leader; he was the embodiment of the American Revolution. As the first president of the United States, he established the norms and expectations that have shaped the presidency ever since. Other men gained military fame; some of these subsequently became president. But none so towered above his contemporaries in both war and peace. From his early military career and role among the Virginia gentry, to his leadership during the American Revolution and reluctant return to public service as the first president of the United States, American Patriarch brings to life the man who became an embodiment of the virtues of America's founding. Within a few years of his 1799 death, Washington was linked in the popular mind to a golden age of civic virtue-an association that continues centuries after his death. In a vivid narrative that confounds expectations, Brands portrays a Washington who perseveres through a shocking series of failures and setbacks, acknowledging his weaknesses but attributing to him a fundamentally solid character and uncovering the qualities that made him an iconic American leader"-- Provided by publisher. | ||
