Description
The most definitive one-volume biography of George Washington ever written. In 1948 renowned biographer and military historian Douglas Southall Freeman won his second Pulitzer Prize for his new and dramatic reexamination of George Washington. For years biographies had gone from idolatry to muckraking. This work makes Washington a living, breathing individual, flawed, but heroic. An able commander who defeated the British Empire against incredible odds, and proved to be just as adept at wielding political power, and leadership of a new nation attempting to establish a unique form of government. Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Kammen puts this publication into perspective and the afterword by Pulitzer Prize winner Dumas Malone explains the travails of Freeman's grinding work.
