<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>George Washington speaks for himself on behalf of liberty and the emerging American republic in this handsome book, the only one-volume compilation in print of his vast writings.</p> <p>While Washington is recognized as a military leader and the great symbolic figure of the early republic, many fail to appreciate the full measure of his contributions to the country. In these selections, his political ideas and judgments stand out with remarkable clarity. His writings are replete with sustained, thoughtful commentary and keen political insight.</p> <p>This volume includes correspondence, all of his presidential addresses, various public proclamations, his last will and testament, and the most comprehensive recompilation of the "discarded first inaugural" ever printed.</p> <p><strong>W. B. Allen</strong> is Professor of Political Philosophy and Director of the Program in Public Policy and Administration at Michigan State University.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Great reading but also more than that. It provides a privileged experience, that of reliving with the greatest of Americans his public career, through a judicious and well-annotated selection of his own writings." <i>--</i><i></i>Forrest McDonald, University of Alabama</p><p></p><p>"Professor Allen is to be congratulated for bringing together in a single volume those writings that reflect Washington's role in and contributions to the birth of our republic. Through his selections and organization, he reveals salient dimensions of Washington's status as 'father' of our country often ignored by contemporary scholars. <i>-- George W. Carey, Georgetown University</i></p><br>
