George Washington was exactly the kind of leader the United States needed as it broke away from Great Britain. He led the United States to victory in the Revolutionary War, then went on to guide the infant nation through its difficult first years. This anthology chronicles Washington's childhood, his military career, his presidency, and his personal life as husband and farmer. Readers will learn about George Washington's talent, skills, intellect, and charisma, and how he made an impact on his time, for better or worse.
