Now in a new trade paperback edition, this masterful work explores the Father of Our Country - sometimes an unpopular hero, a man of great contradictions, but always a towering historical figure, who remains, as Flexner writes in these pages, \"a fallible human being made of flesh and blood and spirit - not a statue of marble and wood... a great and good man.\" The author unflinchingly paints a portrait of Washington: slave owner, brave leader, man of passion, reluctant politician, and fierce general. His complex character and career are neither glorified nor vilified here; rather, Flexner sets up a brilliant counterpoint between Washington's public and private lives and gives us a challenging look at the man who has become as much a national symbol as the American flag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Thomas Flexner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52367192981786,"sku":"9780316286053","price":100.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/710melNZrRL._SY522.jpg?v=1781718377","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/washington","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
