From the award-winning author of "Almost a Miracle" and "The Ascent
of George Washington," this is the rare work of scholarship that
offers us irresistible human drama even as it enriches our
understanding of deep themes in our nation's history. The decade of
the 1790s has been called the "age of passion." Fervor ran high as
rival factions battled over the course of the new republic--each
side convinced that the other's goals would betray the legacy of
the Revolution so recently fought and so dearly won. All understood
as well that what was at stake was not a moment's political
advantage, but the future course of the American experiment in
democracy. In this epochal debate, no two figures loomed larger
than Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Both men were
visionaries, but their visions of what the United States should be
were diametrically opposed. "Jefferson and Hamilton" is the story
of the fierce struggle--both public and, ultimately, bitterly
personal--between these two titans. It ended only with the death of
Hamilton in a pistol duel, felled by Aaron Burr, Jefferson's vice
president. Their competing legacies, like the twin strands of DNA,
continue to shape our country to this day. Their personalities,
their passions, and their bold dreams for America leap from the
page in this epic new work from one of our finest historians.
