George Washington's Rules of Civilitywith an introduction and annotations by Adam Haslett Non-Fiction/Political Science | Trade Paperback
AKASHIC U.S. PRESIDENTS SERIES Akashic Books announces a provocative new 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. This September, the series will launch with the first three titles. National Book Award/Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Haslett tackles George Washington's Rules of Civility, which will be printed in their entirety. In addition to an introductory essay, Haslett annotates the text. Click here to find out about events with Adam Haslett.Click here to read an excerpt from Adam Haslett's introduction.
