Description
|
|
|
|
George Washington is universally considered to be our most accomplished president, at once a military hero, effective administrator, and great leader. In honor of the 200th anniversary of his death in 1799, this heavily illustrated volume presents the many manifestations of Washington as a national icon, illuminating how we have continually turned to his image during nearly every period of our history for both inspiration and prestige. Yet it also considers how his image has resisted fundamental revision, due largely to the force of Washington's character, charisma, and political purpose.
