Inhaltsangabe

Akashic Books announces a provocative series of books with early writings from United States presidents, starting with George Washington and moving chronologically forward in time. Each book will present an introduction by a talented and highly acclaimed contemporary writer. This series will be unlike any other presidential commentaries in print, and will be characterized by a critical viewpoint that will provide a counterbalance to the overly reverent and conservative analyses that invariably accompany presidential writings.

National Book Award/Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Haslett tackles George Washington's Rules of Civility, which will be printed in its entirety. In addition to an introductory essay, Haslett annotates the text.
