HTML:<b>From historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands comes an inspiring portrait of George Washington that examines his unrivaled leadership in the birth of America.<br /> <br /> “With this masterly volume, Brands has further solidified his standing as one of our nation’s greatest historians. <i>American Patriarch</i> is by turns brilliant and bold. ”<br /> —Justin Vaughn, founder and director of the Presidential Greatness Project</b><br /> From his early military career and role among the Virginia gentry, to his leadership during the American Revolution and reluctant return to public service as the first president of the United States, <i>American Patriarch</i> brings to life the man who was called on time and again by his peers to lead. <br /> With a dazzling cast of characters—from the French and Indians on the Ohio frontier; to the Marquis de Lafayette, Benedict Arnold, and Baron von Steuben on the revolutionary battlefield; to Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton locked in conflict during his presidency—<i>American Patriarch</i> casts Washington as the icon of American virtue who wrested America free from British control, gave credibility to the Constitution, and crafted the norms that would steady America as a nation for generations to follow.<br /> Arriving in time for the 250th anniversary of American independence, this is a masterful portrait of Washington as the unrivaled leader of his times.
