If you ask the average person walking down a street in the United States who the father of our country was, you will get a near unanimous response that it was George Washington. You can probably ask this same person, if they have a dollar bill with the picture of George Washington on it in their pocket, and they will probably say yes. You can also ask this person if they could identify the Washington Monument in a picture and the likely answer is probably "Yes". But with all of this knowledge and familiarity with our country's first president, few Americans actually know this most important person in American history. Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington by Richard Brookhiser is a great place for Americans to become reacquainted with Mr. George Washington.
Mr. Brookhiser accomplished a great task with his latest work because he not only examines the external events that George Washington was a factor in shaping, but also the inner man which shows why George Washington is truly an historically great figure. Mr. Brookhiser examines the character and thoughts of this great individual. This work shows that George Washington was not just an important and influential figure of the dawning of our country but also in this technologically advanced era of the late 20th century. Brookhiser takes great care to demonstrate that what separated George Washington from his contemporaries was not his great intellect, his tremendous bravery, or his expert diplomacy (although he was a holder of all of these attributes), it was his strong moral fiber that made him respected and honored.
It is Mr. Brookhiser's premise in the book that America has forgotten, or never truly knew, the greatness of George Washington. The quality of this volume will surely reverse this trend in America. Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington is a must read for not only lovers of American history but also lovers of our country.
