Rothbards Conceived in Liberty also shows the charlatans such as George Washington and Ben Franklin as those very same opportunists that took advantage of the situations they were placed in and did no such altruism as theyve been portrayed to do. both tryants in their own rights for the sake of their own gain. i highly recommend anyone to read this book.      

 I've meant to read this but never have. Thanks for that tidbit.  

 Its so damn good. Its long but very informative and dense.
