Washington: The Indispensable Man

Washington: The Indispensable Man by James Thomas Flexner. Published by Little, Brown & Co, Boston, MA, 1974. 2nd Edition. Hardbound w/Paper DJ. Size 8vo. Condition: Fine in Chipped DJ. ISBN 0316286052. LCCN 74-7235. 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, the author 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. 423 Pgs.
