George Washington has survived war, winter, and the weight of history. Now, at sixty-three, he faces an opponent he never expected: the presidential campaign trail. Paired by party strategists with Adolf Hitler, a volatile nationalist whose rhetoric disgusts him, George must decide how much compromise democracy can bear. But after one private night in Chicago exposes the fear beneath his running mate's fury, their cynical alliance becomes something far more dangerous - a test of whether confession can become change, whether accountability can coexist with redemption, and whether a divided country can trust either man with power. As leaked secrets, political betrayal, and the consequences of old cruelty close in, George is forced to confront the cost of his own choices. Winning the White House may be possible. Governing without losing his principles may not be. The General and the Running Mate is a provocative work of alternate-history political satire about identity, responsibility, democracy, and the difficult distance between telling the truth and earning forgiveness.
