George Washington

    Tento autor ztělesňuje archetyp vůdce a stratéga, jehož život byl formován zájmy o vojenské umění a rozšiřování západních území. Jeho jednání při formování rané americké zahraniční politiky, kdy prosazoval neutralitu navzdory silným pro-francouzským a pro-britským názorům ve svém kabinetu, ukazuje jeho pronikavý úsudek a odhodlání posilovat národ. Jeho projevy zdůrazňují moudrost získanou zkušenostmi a varují před nebezpečím stranické politiky a zahraničních spojenectví, což zanechalo trvalý odkaz pro budoucí generace.
