A vivid and groundbreaking portrait of a young, struggling George Washington that casts a new light on his character and the history of American independence, from the best-selling author of Astoria
Two decades before he led America to independence, George Washington was a flailing young soldier serving the British Empire in the vast wilderness of the Ohio Valley. Naive and self-absorbed, the 22-year-old officer accidentally ignited the French and Indian War - a conflict that opened colonists to the possibility of an American Revolution.
With powerful narrative drive and vivid writing, Young Washington recounts the wilderness trials, controversial battles, and emotional entanglements that transformed Washington from a temperamental striver into a mature leader. Enduring terrifying summer storms and subzero winters imparted resilience and self-reliance, helping prepare him for what he would one day face at Valley Forge. Leading the Virginia troops into battle taught him to set aside his own relentless ambitions and stand in solidarity with those who looked to him for leadership. Negotiating military strategy with British and colonial allies honed his diplomatic skills. And thwarted in his obsessive, youthful love for one woman, he grew to cultivate deeper, enduring relationships.
By weaving together Washington’s harrowing wilderness adventures and a broader historical context, Young Washington offers new insights into the dramatic years that shaped the man who shaped a nation.

This work does not sugar coat or gloss over the failures and struggles that would craft the greatest President America has ever seen.
I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who thinks they know who George Washington was.
Lovers of American history and The Founding Fathers have been missing this detailed account and it has been done in a magnificent way in this book!
Last but not least- he footnotes are such an amazing addition and add a rich texture to the story.
You really get a sense of how truly amazing it was to have this man in the right place at the absolutely right time in our founding and we would not be here as Americans in 2021 had it been any other man.
