Features: An irreplaceable biography of a famous figure, a unforgettable piece of true history. Famous figures are the axis of the world, famous biographies are the benchmarks of life, and famous figures and their biographies are our tireless homeland. Washington, the founding father, general, and political leader of the United States, served as the first president. As the founder of the United States of America, Washington's name is household. He set an example that Americans still follow today—peaceful transfer of power. Washington was not as creative or perceptive a thinker as Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, or other contemporary American leaders. Yet, he was more important than any thinker. For Washington, whether in war or peace, he played a crucial leadership role, and without him, no political movement could succeed. Madison made significant contributions to the formation of the United States of America, but Washington's contributions were indispensable.
