About this audiobook

In a world dominated by empires, George Washington did not merely win a war: he invented a new way of exercising power. This book traces his life from colonial Virginia to the presidency, revealing the man behind the myth: the ambitious young man who learned to measure land and risk, the commander who sustained a broken army through the harshest winters, and the leader who, after victory, did the unthinkable —he resigned command so that a real republic could be born. These pages illuminate his lights and shadows, his boldest decisions, and his most uncomfortable contradictions, in order to answer a question that remains alive today: what does it take to build a country without losing one's soul in the attempt?
