When he had worn out and nearly bankrupted his allies, George Washington disbanded the victorious army he had forged and resigned to Congress, giving life to democratic government. George III once said that if Washington could give up power, he would be the greatest man of the eighteenth century. And Washington did. Twice. Even hundreds of years later, a large American public is keen to know the human story of our founding father.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWillard Sterne Randall lives in Burlington, Vermont.
