Simultaneously with the release of a paperback edition of his acclaimed

biography Washington- A Life (Penguin), Ron Chernow presents a

revealing portrait of Washington through his own words. A young officer

leading an attack that triggered a global struggle for empire.

Commander of the ill-equipped and undermanned Continental Army in the

War of Independence. Presiding delegate to the Constitutional

Convention. First President of the United States. George Washington,

the indispensable founder of the American republic, was at the heart of

events of worldwide importance. He was also, as revealed in this

selection introduced by his Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, a writer

of remarkable clarity, energy, force, and eloquence. This career- spanning selection includes detailed notes, an essay on the selection

of texts, and a chronology of Washington's life.

Reviews for George Washington: Selected Writings: A Library of America Paperback Classic

To encounter Washington in his writings is to confront a notably hot-blooded and opinionated man, not the reticent sphinx of American myth. -Ron Chernow<br><br>
