X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>David O. Stewart's newest book\,&nbsp\;<em
 >George Washington: The Political Rise of America&rsquo\;s Founding Father
 </em>\, is an&nbsp\;account of how George Washington became the single mos
 t dominant force in the creation of the United States of America.&nbsp\;Wa
 shington's rise constitutes one of the greatest self-reinventions in histo
 ry. In his mid-twenties\, this third son of a modest Virginia planter had 
 ruined his own military career thanks to an outrageous ego. But by his mid
 -forties\, that headstrong\, unwise young man had evolved into an unassail
 able leader chosen as the commander in chief of the fledgling Continental 
 Army. By his mid-fifties\, he was unanimously elected the nation's first p
 resident. How did Washington emerge from the political wilderness to becom
 e the central founder of the United States of America?&nbsp\; Mr. Stewart 
 will discuss his research and writing\, and answer audience questions.&nbs
 p\;</p>\n<p>After many years as a trial and appellate lawyer\, David O. St
 ewart became a bestselling writer of history and historical fiction.&nbsp\
 ; His histories have explored the writing of the Constitution\, the gifts 
 of James Madison\, the outrageous western expedition and treason trial of 
 the mysterious Aaron Burr\, and the impeachment trial of President Andrew 
 Johnson.&nbsp\; His histories have won the Washington Writing Award for be
 st book of the year\,&nbsp\;the History Prize of the Society of the Cincin
 nati\, and the William H. Prescott Award of the National Society of Coloni
 al Dames of America. Find David and more of his work online at&nbsp\;<a hr
