Product Description

The Real George Washington: The True Story of America s Most Indispensable Man

There is properly no history; only biography, wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. If that is true of the general run of mankind, it is particularly true of George Washington. The story of his life is the story of the founding of America. His was the dominant personality in three of the most critical events in that founding: the Revolutionary War, the Constitutional Convention, and the first national administration. Had he not served as America s leader in those three events, all three would likely have failed. And America as we know it today would not exist.

Why, after two centuries, does George Washington remain one of the most beloved figures in our history? The Real George Washington answers that question by giving us a close look at this man who became the father of our country and the first American President. But rather than focus on the interpretations of historians, the books tells much of his exciting story in his own words. The second part of this 928-page book brings together the most important and insightful passages from Washington s writings, conveniently arranged by subject. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.

Learn for yourself why GLENN BECK, award-winning radio and Cable TV host has been encouraging people to read The Real George Washington !

5.0 out of 5 stars I never really knew President Washington..., March 22, 2009
By Molly Peters (CA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The only reason I started reading this book was because of my brothers recommendation, I have never been a big non fiction reader. But after falling in love with his last recommendation (the excellent "Across the High Lonesome" another book I would typically not read) I decided I better give old George a chance. As I read this book I soon realized that I did not know much about the father of our country beyond the myth of chopping down the cherry tree, that he was the head of the army during the revolutionary war and our first president. I now understand what a truly amazing person President Washington was, how he really was the father of this great country and the office of the president. What made this book enjoyable however, is how it focuses on the man's own words, letting him tell his story as much as possible. I would recommend every citizen read this book if they are familiar with the life of our first president, and this should be required reading in all Highschool history classes. I hate to admit it but my brother has good taste in reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get to know the REAL man..., June 27, 2000
By Larene Spitler (Cedar City, Utah) - See all my reviews
This book was well written.. and it is very easy to read... even for kids. George Washington was a man of character. He is a great example to follow. This book will help you understand why he did what he did... why he refused to be King George... why he got involved in the revolutionary war. And after reading this book, you will gain a tremendous love and respect for the founding father of our country. And you will understand why they called him "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen".

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about a great man!, January 28, 2002
By Newell A. Franks II (Sturgis, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently took this book with me to read on a trip to South Africa. The book is outstanding in every way. I will recommend this book to every reader that I know. Washington was one of the great men of U.S. and world history. The book does a great job of bringing George Washington to life for the reader.
