Description

A landmark work of history explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals shaped the course of our nation. Joseph J. Ellis examines the lives and actions of six key figures: Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison. During the most important decade in our nation's history, these individuals combined ideals with practicality to create the foundations of our government. Through an analysis of pivotal episodes, including a deadly duel, a precedent-setting address, and a famous correspondence between two former presidents, Ellis brings to life the vital issues and personalities that defined this period. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the Founding Fathers' struggles and triumphs, shedding light on the complexities of their relationships and the challenges they faced in creating a new nation.
