George Washington: A Life in Books

byKevin J. Hayes

Focused on a Life in Books, George Washington brings Kevin J. Hayes's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
