Description: George Washington is at once the most familiar and most remote of the founding fathers. He remains today what he was in 1841, an icon more marble than flesh. What influences shaped his life and how did his surrender at Great Meadows at age 22 give him the strength to become The Father of Our Country?

Review Quotes:
"David Drummond finds the thread and inner logic of Axelrod's narrative, and draws together his numerous themes into a compelling and satisfying story. Drummond's brisk, unaffected delivery matches Alexrod's unromanticized portrait of the great Founding Father...richness, breadth, and nuance are enhanced in this fine production."
