In the 1740s, a young George Washington carefully copied out 110 "Rules for Civility", compiled by French Jesuits in the 15th century. Throughout his military and political career, he made it his highest aim to embody these principles in his life and actions. Now, with incisive and witty commentary, the bestselling author of "Founding Father" unlocks the universal meaning behind these deceptively simple rules, updating them for a new generation.
