This book serves as a prologue to Mr. Lengel's latest book, "First Entrepreneur" which uses George Washington's writings to create a portrait of a surveyor, planter, politician, general, planner and leader whose actions were driven by his sense of business and his goals to build better enterprises by embracing and managing change.
"Inventing George Washington" laid a foundation for a scholarly examination of Washington and prescribes following a biographical path between those blazed by the myth makers and the detractors.
If you style yourself a "patriot" and you want to find the real foundation of American government and free enterprise, this book will be an enjoyable and inspiring read.
