Peter R. Henriques, a leading scholar on George Washington and professor emeritus of history at George Mason University, produces a concise and vital volume on America’s first president that is hailed by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Joseph J. Ellis as “a deeply thoughtful appraisal of Washington’s career and character.”
Washington drew tremendous support from his wife, yet also reserved a special place in his affections for Sally Cary Fairfax. His politics were greatly influenced by relationships with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. His views on slavery and religion are often misunderstood. But perhaps most importantly, he was an idealistic man who acted on his clear vision for a fledgling nation.
Realistic Visionary is not an exhaustive study, but rather a focused examination of the vital events and traits that made Washington who he was. In fascinating detail, it shows a man who overcame personal faults to be the greatest person of his generation.
