Ellis's compelling historical examples and astute analysis will raise questions and ignite debate. This work should be read by academics and general readers alike. [See Prepub Alert, 4/23/18.]
Drawing extensively on primary sources, this work will appeal to anyone who is interested in the political dimension in creating the American republic and in interpreting the "original intent" of this political elite. [See Prepub Alert, 11/3/14.]
Lacking the intellectual depth of Ellis's previous American Sphinx and the originality of his Founding Brothers, his new book nevertheless imparts a poignant tale. Biography buffs who haven't yet read about John and Abigail may well enjoy this; those familiar with the subject have no need for it.
