In this extraordinary work of historical fiction, there are no white wigs, no cherry trees. Here, under the skillful hands of the New York Times bestselling author of Back Bay and Cape Cod, the frozen face so familiar to us on the dollar bill is replaced by a passionate, complex human being: a young man more interested in acquiring land and wealth than political ideals; a soldier who blundered badly in his first experiences at war; a stepfather never to have children of his own; a budding politician who quickly learned how to play an audience, command authority, and be all things to all those who wanted so much of him. Citizen Washington reveals ""the father of his country"" through the eyes of his contemporaries, admirers like Hamilton and Lafayette, skeptics like Jefferson and Adams, and women like Abigail Adams and his own wife, Martha.
