A biography of America's first President from birth to the beginning of the Revolutionary War, portraying the personal qualities which contributed to his greatness.
Description
With a clear, swiftly readable style, Flexner shows the wholly human way in which the character of one of the greatest men in history was shaped and how it, in turn, shaped his achievements. Able and energetic, impulsive and vulnerable, Washington from the first had major virtues but... he was also fallible.
