The George Washington we all know is larger than life, an icon of mythic proportions. But before becoming the "Father of his country," he was a soldier. This in-depth portrait of this "other" Washington begins in 1753, when the 21-year-old obtained an officer's commission in the Virginia militia. His stint there was far from an overwhelming success. Though he retired from the militia in 1758, he continued to hone his leadership skills managing his vast Mount Vernon estate. When America declared independence, Washington was the consensus choice to lead the Continental Army, and the faith placed in the Virginia farmer was, ultimately, richly rewarded.

From the fields where he courted disaster as a young officer to the true story of the fabled crossing of the Delaware, WASHINGTON THE WARRIOR is an unforgettable look at the career of the most important commander in American military history.
