George Washington

George Washington chronicles the life of the first president and a leading figure of the American Revolution. As president, he led the new nation through its early trials, and his judicious and circumscribed actions during his eight years as president established numerous precedents that gave shape to the office. The key events during his career and two terms of office include his military exploits; and the ongoing debate about the role of the national government as championed by ardent opponents in Washington's administration: the Democratic-Republican Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and the Federalist Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.Langston, Thomas is the author of 'George Washington' with ISBN 9781568027630 and ISBN 156802763X.
