Book description
George Washington may be the most famous American who ever lived, and certainly is one of the most admired. Butalthough he has been heavily mythologized, it is no myth that the man who led Americans’ fight for independence andwhose two terms in office largely defined the presidency was the most highly respected individual among a generationof formidable personalities. In First and Always, celebrated historian Peter Henriques illuminates Washington’s life,more fully explicating his character and his achievements.Arranged thematically, the book’s chapters focus on important and controversial issues, achieving a depth notpossible in a traditional biography. First and Always examines factors that coalesced to make Washington such aremarkable and admirable leader, while also chronicling how Washington mistreated enslaved workers, engaged inextreme partisanship, and responded with excessive sensitivity to criticism. Henriques portrays a Washington deeplyambitious and always hungry for public adoration, even as he disclaimed such desires. In its account of an amazing life,First and Always shows how, despite profound flaws, George Washington nevertheless deserves to rank as the nation’smost consequential leader, without whom the American experiment in republican government would have diedin infancy
