Book Synopsis An Imperfect God by : Henry Wiencek
Book excerpt: When George Washington wrote his will, he made the startling decision to set his slaves free; earlier he had said that holding slaves was his "only unavoidable subject of regret". In this groundbreaking new biography, based on private papers, court records, and the voluminous Washington archives, National Book Critics Circle winning historian Henry Wiencek explores the founding father's engagement with slavery at every stage of his life-as a planter, soldier, politician, president and statesman.
