As new condition black boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Bret Baier; Author Dedication; A Note About the Text; Introduction: Our Common Ground; Prol…ogue: Where Are the Delegates?; Afterword: In Their Footsteps; Appendix: Washington's Farewell Address; Acknowledgments; Notes; Index and About Mariner Books. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "The #1 New York Times bestselling author and Fox News channel's Chief Political anchor illuminates George Washington's indispensable contributions to America's founding. A sweeping narrative ranging from the unsettled early American frontier and the battlefields of the Revolution to the history-making clashes within Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Bret Baier's To Rescue the Constitution dramatically reveals the life of George Washington, the Founder who did more than perhaps any other individual to secure the future of the United States. George Washington rescued the nation three times: first by leading the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War, second by presiding over the Constitutional Convention that set the blueprint for the United States and ushering the Constitution through a fractious ratification process, and third by leading the nation as its first president. There is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be rescued - and that Washington was the only American who could bring the country together. After the victorious War of Independence, when a spirit of unity and patriotism might have been expected, instead the nation fractured. The states were no more than a loosely knit and contentious confederation, with no strong central union. It was an urgent matter that led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention to meet in Philadelphia during the sumer of 1787. Setting aside his plan to retire to Mount Vernon, Washington agreed to be a delagate at Philadelphia. There he was unanimously elected president of the convention. After successfully bringing the Constitution into being, Washington then sccrificed any hope of returning to private life by accepting the unanimous election to be the nation's first president. Washington was not known for brilliant oratory or prose, but his quiet, steady leadership gave life to the Constitution by showing how it should be enacted. In this vivid and moving portrait of America's early struggles, Baier captures the critical moments when Washington's leadership brought the nation from the brink of collapse. Baier exposes an early America that is grittier and far more divided than is often portrayed - one we can see reflected in today's conflicts." - from the inner front jacket flap. Aquan, Richard L. (jacket design); Swartz, Daniel (author photograph); Stuart, Gilbert (jacket artwork) (illustrator).

Fine unread condition black boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Joseph J. Ellis; Author Dedication; Preface: The Man in the Moon; Acknowledgments; Notes…; Photographic Permissions and A Note About the Author. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "The author of seven highly acclaimed books, Joseph J. Ellis has crafted a landmark biography that brings to life in all his complexity the most important and perhaps least understood figure in American history, George Washington. With his careful attention to detail and his lyrical prose, Ellis has set a new standard for biography. Drawing from the newly catalogued Washington papers at the University of Virginia, Joseph Ellis paints a full portrait of George Washington's life and career -- from his military years through his two terms as president. Ellis illuminates the difficulties the first executive confronted as he worked to keep the emerging country united in the face of adversarial factions. He richly details Washington's private life and illustrates the ways in which it influenced his public persona. Through Ellis's artful narration, we look inside Washington's marriage and his subsequent entrance into the upper echelons of Virginia's plantation society. We come to understand that it was by managing his own large debts to British merchants that he experienced firsthand the imperiousness of the British Empire. And we watch the evolution of his attitude toward slavery, which led to his emancipating his own slaves in his will. Throughout, Ellis peels back the layers of myth and uncovers for us Washington in the context of eighteenth-century America, allowing us to comprehend the magnitude of his accomplishments and the character of his spirit and mind. When Washington died in 1799, Ellis tells us, he was eulogized as "first in the hearts of his countrymen." Since then, however, his image has been chisled onto Mount Rushmore and printed on the dollar bill. He is on our landscape and in our wallets but not, Ellis argues, in our hearts. Ellis strips away the ivy and legend that have grown up over the Washington statue and recovers the flesh-and-blood man in all his passionate and fully human prowess. In the pantheon of our republic's founders, there were many outstanding individuals. And yet each of them -- Franklin, Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison -- acknowledged Washington to be his supereior, the only indispensable figure, the one and only "His Excellency." Both physically and politically, Washington towered over his peers for reasons this book elucidates. His Excellency is a full, glorious, and multifaceted portrait of the man behind our country's genesis, sure to become the authoritative biography of George Washington for many decades." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joseph Ellis is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Founding Brothers. His portrait of Thomas Jefferson, American Sphinx, won the National Book Award. He lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, with his wife, Ellen, and their youngest son, Alex. Stuart, Gilbert (jacket painting); Wilson, Gabriele (jacket design); Mayer, Francis G.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards with gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction: George Washington and American Character by Daniel J. Boorstin; Appendix:… Farewell Address, September 19, 1796; Notes; Index and About the Authors. Illustrated with first free front endpaper facsimile George Washington Farewell Address and last free rear endpaper facsimile George Washington Farewell Address, both documents printed on a thicker stock paper. "Our recent bicentennials took us back to 1776 and Thomas Jefferson, and 1787 and James Madison; neglected in these celebrations was the true father of our country, George Washington. With this splendid volume, Spalding and Garrity remind us of how much we own him." - Walter Berns, Georgetown University. "On the two-hundredth anniversary of George Washington's 1796 Farewell Address - one of the most influential but misunderstood expressions of American political thought - this book places the Address in the full context of American history and explains its enduring relevance for the next century. Generations of American political leaders have invoked the authority of the Address to shape foreign and domestic policy. With discussions about national character and personal responsibility dominating the current political landscape, there has been a resurgence of interest in the character of the nation's founders, particularly Washington's. The authors show how the Address expressed Washington's ideas for forming a national character that would cultivate the habits, morals, and civic virtues essential for stable republican self-government. An insightful and provocative analysis of the past, present, and future of American democracy and its most important citizen, this book will be of value to anyone concerned about the current state of American citizenship and the future role of the federal government." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "On its two-hundredth anniversary, it is appropriate for Americans to remember and reconsider this great document. A Sacred Union of Citizens is a contribution not only to the current renaissance in Washington scholarship but also to contemporary debates about citizenship and the American character." - Daniel J. Boorstin, from the Introduction. "Two hundred years after the Farewell Address was published, Matthew Spalding and Patrick J. Garrity help Washington speak once more to his 'friends and fellow citizens.' It is particularly important, in an election year, to be reminded of the concluding thoughts of the first (and last) president to be elected unanimously." - Richard Brookhiser, National Review. "Spalding and Garrity show how George Washingthon was able to help shape the hearts of his countrymen - and how Washington's speeches and deeds can help shape them still. An intelligent and important work." - William Kristol, The Weekly Standard. "This marvelous book helps to renew our understanding of George Washington's enormous contribution to the founding of our country, and of the continuing relevance of his example to the problems we face today. Good character was essential to Washington's success, and it remains esseential for the success of republican govrenment." - William A. Galston, University of Maryland. Stuart, Gilbert (cover art portraint of George Washington) (illustrator).
