This book begins with Washington's return to Mount Vernon, a victorious, but exhausted soldier eagerly seeking the pleasures of a quiet country life. Free of heavy responsibilities, his character expands in genial, often unexpected ways. All too soon, however, the idyll is broken. This promises to be the biography of Washington that will best serve our generation.Flexner, James Thomas is the author of 'George Washington and the New Nation, 1783-1793' with ISBN 9780316286008 and ISBN 0316286001.
