"Alan Dershowitz found an important letter from his hero that
relates to freedom of speech, incitement, and terrorism--subjects
about which Alan has thought and taught for decades. This book is a
wonderful adventure story that uses Jefferson's arguments and
Dershowitz's counters to illuminate issues that were important and
difficult when the U.S. was a new nation and that remain so today.
I recommend it to every citizen concerned with preserving our
liberties and combating terrorism."
--President William Jefferson Clinton
"The 1801 letter of Thomas Jefferson to Elijah Boardman is of
tremendous interest and importance, as is the remarkable story of
its discovery by Alan Dershowitz."
--David McCullough
Pulitzer Prize-winning author
"Finding Jefferson is terrific on every level: as a memoir of a
passionate collector, it is delightful; as an account of an
important historical discovery, it is riveting; as a defense of
free speech, it is brilliant."
--Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
"What a treasure this book is, just like the stuff Dershowitz
scours the old archives for. It is unexpected, revealing and
resonant with a central fact of our Republic--we are still stitched
together by words, and their complicated progeny, ideas. From a
simple, fortuitous discovery, Dershowitz has fashioned an elaborate
and engaging argument, one we will be thinking about for
ages."
--Ken Burns, director and producer of The War and Thomas
Jefferson
General
