The Political Rise of George Washington

with writers David O. Stewart and Walter Stahr

Stewart’s most recent book, George Washington: The Political Rise of America’s Founding Father, traces the surprising transformation of a headstrong, unwise young Virginian into a master politician who led the founding of the world’s first constitutional republic. The story traces Washington’s political education through the Virginia House of Burgesses and Fairfax County Court to the pinnacle of American life.  The Wall Street Journal called the book “an outstanding biography,” with writing that “is clear, often superlative” and “a narrative drive such a life deserves.”
