Product Information

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER * NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A landmark work of history explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals--Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison--confronted the overwhelming challenges before them to set the course for our nation. "A splendid book--humane, learned, written with flair and radiant with a calm intelligence and wit." -- The New York Times Book Review The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790. During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers--re-examined here as Founding Brothers--combined the ideals of the Declaration of Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six fascinating episodes--Hamilton and Burr's deadly duel, Washington's precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams' administration and political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to place the capital, Franklin's attempt to force Congress to confront the issue of slavery and Madison's attempts to block him, and Jefferson and Adams' famous correspondence-- Founding Brothers brings to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important decade in our nation's history.

  • concise summary of book's thesis

    recent, but unique and classic approach to our founding "brothers"

    Achat vérifié : OuiÉtat : OccasionVendu par : harrycds

  • Excellent book.

    This book looks at american history through the eyes of some key founding fathers. It starts with a duel and ends with the almost simulteneous deaths of jefferson and adam. It's key theme was about the disagreement of the founders after the revolutionary war of what america should be. Federalism vs republican, strong federal govt(president) vs a weaker one. The fights between the key figures is also illuminated. Adams and Jefferson after years of being very close friends did not talk to each other for years after Adam's presidency. The book was written in a storytelling way, which I really enjoyed. A plus.

  • Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation

  • Good Book, interesting, but drawn out.

    Founding Brothers examines six events in the founding of the United States that illustrates the principles upon which the nation was founded, or drastically changed history. Ellis's style is graceful, but each chapter has large amounts of jargon that has little to do with what is discussed. Overall recommended.
