Revolutionaries

Offers a revealing perspective on the men who shaped the idea of an American nation. Spanning the most crucial decades of the country's birth, this title uses the stories of famous (and not so famous) men to capture - in a way no single biography ever could - the intensely creative period of the republic's founding.

In this remarkable book, Jack Rakove offers a new and revealing perspective on the men who shaped the idea of an American nation. Each portrait brims with fresh and fascinating insights: Washington as a flawed tactician but expert manager; Jack Laurens as a slave trader''s son who developed a plan to recruit black soldiers; Jefferson as a powerful critic of Europe''s social order but a voracious consumer of its culture.

Spanning the most crucial decades of the country''s birth, Revolutionaries uses the stories of famous (and not so famous) men to capture - in a way no single biography ever could - the intensely creative period of the republic''s founding.
