Joseph J. Ellis and Runger Nelson - Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation

Rating:	(10 reviews)
Price Range:	$4 - $23
Key Features:	Release Date: October 01, 2000

In a landmark work of history, the National Book Award—winning author of American Sphinx explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed men–Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison–set the course for our nation. Joseph Ellis illuminates the profoundly deep bonds and the often fractious, sometimes blind, efforts of the Founding Fathers–re-examined here as Founding Brothers–to realize strikingly different visions of America. During their own time, and even more so in ours, the Founding Fathers were perceived as demigods no more tainted than marble statues by the stain of imperfect humanity. Ellis’s penetrating analysis of six fascinating historical episodes, including Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s Farewell Address, and the correspondence between Jefferson and Adams, brings these statues to life and their visions into focus.

Professional Reviews	Chicago Tribune Books: "Encounters and correspondence shape Ellis' masterful narrative. He returns to the founders' writings to convey their sense of the nation as an unfinished and fragile thing.....By going back to events as they happened, he brings alive the oft-told tales of the early nation."
