Summary
As the French Revolution turns into a blood-soaked spectacle, the shockwaves reach across the Atlantic to President Washington’s desk. Follow Washington through the most volatile years of his presidency: cabinet warfare between Hamilton and Jefferson, street mobs stirred up by Citizen Genet, a deadly yellow fever outbreak, and the explosive Whiskey Rebellion that forces Washington back onto the battlefield. International crises, brutal press attacks, fragile alliances, and a nation still learning how to govern itself push the first president to his breaking point. And through it all, Washington makes the most important decision of his political life – one that will define the American presidency forever.
