Looks at the 8 year period before Washington became president, and the influence he had behind the scenes while shaping the image that would be recorded for posterity. Schemes, plans, backroom deals, and countless letters would ultimately lead to Washington's presidency, as well as the shaping of very early years of the new United States. The author does an excellent job deftly navigating the numerous sources and guiding the reader through this tumultuous period.
