George Washington And The New Nation, 1783 1793 by James Thomas Flexner
A detailed narrative of the decade after the Revolution that traces Washington’s evolution from retired hero to the reluctant architect of a functioning national government: his leadership at the Constitutional Convention, unanimous election as the first president, and the establishment of the executive branch and key precedents. The book examines how he guided the young republic through creation of federal institutions (the Judiciary Act, the Bill of Rights, fiscal policies under Hamilton, and the seat-of-government compromise), navigated foreign crises and the Neutrality proclamation, and managed growing domestic partisan tensions, showing how his character, caution, and statesmanship helped stabilize a fragile new nation.
