Being George Washington : the indispensable man, as you've never seen him / written & edited by Glenn Beck & Kevin Balfe.
Combining biography and Washington's own writings with his own trademark insights, comments, and sidebars, Beck explores our nation's first president and describes how Washington's beliefs and values--beliefs and values which united a country in an age even more fractious than our own--are especially important to remember today.
