George Washington: Who made National History (Final Part) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798558626391)

This book will reveal all the facts about the first American president - George Washington.
He was an American political leader, military general, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. He presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which established the U.S. Constitution and a federal government.
Washington received his initial military training and command with the Virginia Regiment. He is the impetuous young officer whose miraculous survival in combat half-convinced him that he could not be killed. Here is the free-spending landowner whose debts to English merchants instilled him with a prickly resentment of imperial power. We see the general who lost more battles than he won and the reluctant president who tried to float above the partisan feuding of his cabinet. His Excellency is a magnificent work, indispensable to an understanding not only of its subject but also of the nation he brought into being.
Washington became an international symbol for liberation and nationalism, as the leader of the first successful revolution against a colonial empire.
