George Washington's final warning to America is more relevant today than ever.
In 1796, after eight years as the first President of the United States, George Washington published his Farewell Address. It was not a speech delivered in person, but a carefully written message to the American people, a final act of leadership from the man who refused a crown.
In it, Washington warned against the dangers that could destroy the young republic: the poison of political parties, the threat of sectional division, the risks of permanent foreign alliances, and the erosion of national unity and moral character.
More than two centuries later, his words still cut through the noise.
This clean, complete paperback edition presents the full text of George Washington's Farewell Address in clear, modern formatting. No archaic spelling. No unnecessary footnotes. Just the original message, preserved for today's readers.
