About this ebook

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, offers a unique spin on the life and legacy of founding father George Washington.

IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW GEORGE WASHINGTON, THINK AGAIN.

This is the amazing true story of a real-life superhero who wore no cape and possessed no special powers—yet changed the world forever.

His life reads as if it were torn from the pages of an action novel: Bullet holes through his clothing. Horses shot out from under him. Unimaginable hardship. Disease. Spies and double-agents. And while we celebrate his great heroism and character, we discover he was also a flawed man. It’s those flaws that should give us hope for today. Understanding the very human way he turned himself from an uneducated farmer into the Indispensable (yet imperfect) Man is the only way to build a new generation of George Washingtons who can take on the extraordinary challenges that America is once again facing.

Ratings and reviews

I've never really had problem with Beck so this isn't personal. However, there is way too much reading into people's thoughts and ad libbing. I get what he was trying to do, but despite being on a huge reading kick personally, this book completely killed it for me. There is so much lacking is this boo of such a great man and trying to keep up with his diary-style date keeping was hard to keep straight. I really felt like Beck was painting Washington more into what he wanted him to be rather than who he was.

- A great story about the greatest American told in a way that is gripping. I couldn't put it down and I am inspired to do my own reseach about this great man. I also plan to visit Valley Forge and other historical sites depicted in this book.

I loved this book! It was a fun and exciting way to learn more about our first president. Definitely recommend it!
