If you want to read a good history book, read "Washington: A Life" by Ron Chernow. It's a very long book, but the life of George Washington is so impressive, really an astoundingly impressive life of great courage, sacrifice, and achievement. Chernow makes him a real human being, warts and all, brings him down off that marble statue. But after reading that book I was convinced that George Washington was one of the greatest people ever. He led a rag-tag army against the greatest superpower of the age for eight years, held the American revolution together through enormous hardships by sheer force of will and great leadership, then willingly gave up power when people were offering him a crown, which set us up for the elected civilian leadership we have today, then went on to become unanimously elected first President, and set all the precedents that our Presidents operate under now, and then willingly gave up power again and retired. He was the greatest American ever. |
