“He was able to create this atmosphere of trust,": A Conversation with David Stewart on the Life of George Washington - a podcast by LBJ Foundation

David O. Stewart is the bestselling author of eight books on American history and historical nonfiction. His latest book, George Washington: The Political Rise of America’s Founding Father, examines the George Washington we may not know—not the imposing, distantly formidable Washington on Mt. Rushmore but a flesh and blood younger Washington who makes mistakes, battles character flaws, and consciously puts himself on a road toward self-improvement and, ultimately, greatness. Stewart talks about what might be the ultimate comeback story from his book that TheWall Street Journal calls “an outstanding biography…with a narrative drive that such a life deserves."
