Jefferson's Second Revolution : The Election Crisis of 1800 and the Triumph of Republicanism

Rating:
Summary: Founding Fathers
Review: This book is well-researched and well-detailed, but I can't say I found it particularly fascinating - few of the details stuck with me. Nor can I say that the author's insights seemed particularly bold or original.

Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton and Burr - these are larger-than-life characters who shaped a nation. If you don't know much about them, you could do worse than reading this book. All in all, a decent work but not an outstanding one.
