That this document existed I had learned back in High School in the early 1970s in civics class; however, I had not learned how important it was to the nation for so long. (Maybe it should be read more often than yearly). I chose to listen to the audio-book in part because I love listening to John Avlon on #CNN , and because he cares about his subject and finds subtle nuances I might miss in print. Washington, the only true "non-party" president almost reads like he had an idea that a growing republic might have growing pains. Washington learned as he grew into the Office, and here he is trying to extol education over fomenting rivalry; warning us that that's not what we fought the Revolution for.
I highly recommend this book in any format, but for me, audio was the way to go. I borrowed this from the library but I may get a hard copy for my own library. 5/5
