Opis

Americans revere their Constitution. However, most of us are unaware how tumultuous and improbable the drafting and ratification processes were. Based on prodigious research and told largely through the voices of the participants, Michael Klarman's The Framers' Coup narrates how the Framers' clashing interests shaped the Constitution-and American history itself.

Recenzje

The book has the authority and elegance of a reference work written for the ages... Rich with voices and insights... often revelatory.
