Synopsis:
His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. If victorious, he would gain immortality. If defeated, he would find his neck in a hangman's noose.
Washington knew the sting of defeat- at Brandywine, at Germantown- yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton: "I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him."
Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man- to this day- stands out. Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, "He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. George Washington has been called, "first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen." He is remembered for his character, perseverance, and faith and is an example for future leaders. From the first outing as a young militia colonel, when he fired on the French, sparking a worldwide war, to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Washington became the most respected leader in American military history. His genius lay not only in becoming "The Father of Our Country," but also in building the army that made our independence possible. Literally within sight of the enemy, this largely self taught, non-professional soldier developed the foundational principles upon which our own modern army is built. These lessons did not come easy. For every victory at Boston, there was a defeat on Long Island. For every brilliant tactical move like Trenton, there was a disaster like Brandywine. In the midst of both failures and success, he earned and maintained the devotion of his troops. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item.
