Description
The Quartet: Orchestrating the Second American Revolution, 1783-1789 by Joseph J. Ellis This gripping narrative explores the pivotal years between the end of the American Revolution and the formation of the federal government. Four key figures - Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Jay, and James Madison - played a crucial role in shaping America's history. Ellis sheds new light on this often-misunderstood period, revealing the intricate web of alliances and rivalries that defined it. From the Articles of Confederation to the Constitutional Convention, Ellis masterfully reconstructs the events that led to the creation of the United States.
