摘要

In his thought-provoking book Blood of Tyrants: George Washington and the Forging of the Presidency, Logan Beirne addresses Washington's approach to four policy dilemmas also faced by post-9/11 presidents: prisoner abuse, congressional war power, military tribunals, and Americans' rights. In a remarkably well-researched volume, Beirne draws from reams of primary source documents to cast a light on many facts related to Washington that have been largely overlooked by history. In doing so, he strips away the stereotypical facade of the stoic, aloof Washington and depicts instead a passionate and fearless leader devoted to the revolutionary cause. He goes on to portray Washington as an honorable and ethical man who struggled with dilemmas similar to those facing modern presidents. Beirne unveils an uncompromising revolutionary warrior and administrator who was also relentless and, at times, ruthless and savage in what he believed was the defense of American freedom. In doing so, Washington set precedents that define presidential powers today.
