George Washington: The Political Rise of America's Founding Father
Available on February 9
"David O. Stewart brings his characteristic grace and skill to this portrait of the political George Washington. . . . Stewart's book is a welcome reminder of the possibilities, however imperfect, of the public arena."
Jon Meachem
"An important new portrait of our first president. As Stewart demonstrates time and time again, with vivid prose and a wonderful sense of pacing, great leaders are also great learners. In this time of division and turmoil, this is the book we need.”
Nathaniel Philbrick

"…I wish today’s political leaders, especially in Washington, would show the courage and willingness to fight for what they believe in, but possess an understanding of the need to compromise to solve the nation’s problems. They all need to go off and read [The Summer of] 1787."
—General Colin Powell, New York Times Book Review
