What transforms a Virginia planter into the leader of a revolution? In George Washington: The Rise of a Revolutionary Leader, Tony Glez uncovers the pivotal years that shaped America's first commander. From 1759 to 1775, Washington balanced life as a husband, landowner, legislator, and soldier, even as the colonies edged toward open conflict. His story reveals the evolution of a man torn between loyalty to the British Crown and a growing conviction that liberty must be defended at all costs. Through Washington's personal letters, political debates, and military experiences, this book portrays the doubts, resilience, and vision that forged his character. Readers will discover the human side of the future president-the challenges of managing Mount Vernon, the responsibilities of marriage, and the burden of rising to lead the Continental Army. Published in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States (1776-2026), this compelling biography captures Washington's courage and enduring legacy as the revolutionary leader who helped secure a nation's independence.
