Introducing: Making Washington

05/18/23 • 3 min

Making Washington unpacks the founding father that has become more myth than man. This season, leading historians, authors and journalists explore the man whose first military command sparked a European war, whose impatience and arrogance on the battlefield led to tragedy, but who grew amid the chaos of war and became the leader he is remembered as today. Making Washington premieres Thursday, May 25th.
