The REAL Story of George Washington, The White House Ballroom, and the Medal of Honor with Historian Edward Lengel

The REAL Story of George Washington, The White House Ballroom, and the Medal of Honor with Historian Edward Lengel

Renowned historian Edward Lengel provides the story behind the American Revolution and why it almost failed. From the chaos of 1776 to the moment at Yorktown, we explore how George Washington transformed into the single most important figure in America’s fight for independence. Without him, the United States as we know it likely wouldn’t exist.

We also dive into:

The truth about the Founding Fathers (and what they got wrong)

Why early American leadership was unprepared for war

How Washington built command, control, and intelligence systems from scratch

The turning points that saved the Revolution: Trenton, Valley Forge, and Yorktown

Lessons in leadership, resilience, and mission focus that still apply today

This is more than a history lesson—it's a deep look at leadership under extreme pressure, the importance of strategic thinking, and how one individual can shape the course of history.
