Description:
Little Brown, NY, 1974. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. [This] dramatic and concise single-volume distillation of... Flexner's definitive four-volume biography 'George Washington,' (Pulitzer Prize citation)… has itself become an American classic. [it] explores the Father of Our Country - sometimes an unpopular hero, a man of great contradictions, but always a towering historical figure... 'a fallible human being made of flesh and blood and spirit... a great and good man.' The author... paints a portrait of... slave owner, brave leader, man of passion, reluctant politician, and fierce general... a brilliant counterpoint between... public and private lives... A challenging look at the man who has become as much a national symbol as the American flag." [Pub. Info] There is a protective mylar cover.
