Edward Cooper
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
He was the reluctant general who led a revolution, the statesman who refused a crown, and the first president who shaped a nation. George Washington: A Biography of the Founding Father, Military Commander, and First President of the United States brings to life the story of the man who became the face of the American experiment.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, he defied the odds and secured independence for the fledgling colonies.
But Washington’s greatest legacy may lie in what he did after the war.
