Now in a new trade paperback edition, this masterful work explores the Father of Our Country - sometimes an unpopular hero, a man of great contradictions, but always a towering historical figure, who remains, as Flexner writes in these pages, a fallible human being made of flesh and blood and spirit - not a statue of marble and wood... a great and good man. The author unflinchingly paints a portrait of Washington: slave owner, brave leader, man of passion, reluctant politician, and fierce general. His complex character and career are neither glorified nor vilified here; rather, Flexner sets up a brilliant counterpoint between Washington's public and private lives and gives us a challenging look at the man who has become as much a national symbol as the American flag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWashington: The Indispensable Man Paperback by James Thomas Flexner (Author)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534509146400,"sku":"NEW0316286168","price":26.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81SZzGUi3sL.jpg?v=1777362183","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/washington-the-indispensable-man-0316286168","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
