The new issue of History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman is dedicated to George Washington, one of the greatest people of the 18th century (and maybe other centuries). The man who led the army of the American colonies in the War of Independence, at a time when it seemed that his undisciplined and untrained soldiers would soon be defeated. And he managed to lead them to victory. The first president of the United States, who, in fact, did not really want to be president, but simply dreamed of doing housekeeping on his estate and living with his family. The greatness of Washington, and about him as a person, will be discussed.
