More about the book

The narrative explores Washington's struggle against intense criticism regarding his foreign policy towards France. He faces harsh backlash, feeling isolated as he is portrayed as a Federalist leader of a minority party rather than a unifying national figure. The perception of his actions suggests an agenda to empower the federal government at the expense of the people's interests, leading to accusations of favoritism towards England while betraying France, highlighting the political tensions of the time.
