Episode overview
A man of passion, intensity, and purpose, George Washington remains one of the most celebrated men in American history. Our glorified image of Washington, however, reveals little about the actual man. America's first president was not a myth or deity, but a human being with ambitions, desires, and even shortcomings. George Washington: American Revolutionary offers a penetrating portrait of the man behind the legend, uncovering a person who sought admiration, respect, and a permanent place in history. Experts discuss Washington's childhood and upbringing, his concerns about his reputation, and his feelings of inferiority while at the same time tracing his famed military and political career. Now for the first time, Biography reveals the real George Washington, a living and breathing man whose passions and struggles are intertwined with the founding of our nation.
