ALEXANDER HAMILTON, American
ISBN: 9780684863313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Alexander Hamilton is one of the least understood, most important, and most impassioned and inspiring of the founding fathers. At last Hamilton has found a modern biographer who can bring him to full-blooded life; Richard Brookhiser. In these pages, Alexander Hamilton sheds his skewed image as the "bastard brat of a Scotch peddler," sex scandal survivor, and notoriously doomed dueling partner of Aaron Burr. Examined up close, throughout his meteoric and ever-fascinating (if tragically brief) life, Hamilton can at last be seen as one of the most crucial of the founders. Here, thanks to...

In Founders' Son,...

James Madison
ISBN: 9780465063802 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. James Madison led one of the most influential and prolific lives in American history, and his story--although all too often overshadowed by his more celebrated contemporaries--is integral to that of the nation. Madison helped to shape our country as perhaps no other Founder: collaborating on the Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights, resisting government overreach by assembling one of the nation's first political parties (the Republicans, who became today's Democrats), and taking to the battlefield during the War of 1812, becoming the last president to lead troops in combat.
In this... James Madison led one of the most influential and prolific lives in American history, and his story--although all too often overshadowed by his more c...

The creators of our democracy had both the temptations and the shortcomings of all men, combined with the talents and idealism of the truly great.

His story is one that should be known by every American -- after all, he drafted the Constitution, and his hand lies behind many of its most important phrases. Yet he has been lost in the...
