From George Washington’s early military career and role among the Virginia gentry to his leadership during the American Revolution and reluctant return to public service as the first president of the U.S., "American Patriarch" brings to life the man who was called on time and again by his peers to lead. With a dazzling cast of characters, Brands’s new biography casts George Washington as the icon of American virtue who wrested America free from British control, gave credibility to the Constitution, and crafted the norms that would steady America as a nation for generations to follow. 

A book signing and light refreshments will follow the program.
