Take Note! George Washington the Reader focuses long overdue attention on our first president's intellectual life, a vital facet of his character that has long been overshadowed by his formidable reputation as military leader, statesman, and pragmatic man of action. The magnificently illustrated text traces Washington's lifelong quest to overcome his lack of formal schooling -- from his early education to his military and entrepreneurial endeavors to his presidency -- and includes detailed discussions of over 50 books, documents, and objects. Here, readers will discover the works that inspired, entertained, and angered him, from the revolutionary rhetoric of Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the comic exploits of Don Quixote, to the biting critique of a now little-known volume by James Monroe, A View of the Conduct of the Executive.
