George Washington

De: James MacGregor Burns, Susan Dunn

Narrado por: Richard Rohan

Wealthy Virginia planter, revolutionary general, and founding president, George Washington was the most illustrious public man of his time, a man whose image today still reflects his own careful shaping of his persona. In this thoughtful and incisive biography, Burns and Dunn dissect the strengths and weaknesses of Washington's presidential leadership, from his lasting foreign and economic policies to his polarizing denunciation of the political parties and his public silence about slavery. The result is a surprising portrait of the multidimensional man behind the myth he so assiduously crafted.©2004 James MacGregor Burns and Susan Dunn (P)2004 Audio Renaissance, a division Of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC

Washington Review

This audio book was a little slow and dry. I was expecting a collection of stories of our first president but the book rendered a tedious account of several legal affairs and the formation of the early government.

Nice summary of Washington

A very clean summary of Washington.
