In this unique biography of Thomas Jefferson, leading journalist
and social critic Christopher Hitchens offers a startlingly new and
provocative interpretation of our Founding Father--a man conflicted
by power who wrote the Declaration of Independence and acted as
ambassador to France yet yearned for a quieter career in the
Virginia legislature. A masterly writer, Jefferson was an awkward
public speaker. A professed proponent of emancipation, he elided
the issue of slavery from the Declaration of Independence and
continued to own human property. A reluctant candidate, he left an
indelible presidential legacy. With intelligence, insight,
eloquence, and wit, Hitchens gives us an artful portrait of a
complex, formative figure and his turbulent era.
