George Washington by James Thomas Flexner
An authoritative, deeply researched biography that follows the life of America’s first president from Virginia planter to commander of the Continental Army and architect of the new republic, highlighting his strategic military leadership, cautious but principled statesmanship as the nation’s first president who established many constitutional and political precedents, and the private contradictions of a man committed to republican ideals while remaining a slaveholder; the narrative shows how his character—self-discipline, sense of duty, and predilection for consensus—shaped the early United States and secured his lasting legacy.
