About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A. : Random House, 2010. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A superb dual biography of the third and fourth American presidents, MADISON AND JEFFERSON is a thrilling and unprecedented account of early America that shows both leaders as men of their times, ruthless and hardboiled operatives in a gritty world of primal politics where they struggled for supremacy for more than fifty years. In most histories, the elder figure, Jefferson, looms larger. Yet Madison is privileged in this book's title because, as Burstein and Isenberg reveal, he was the senior partner at key moments in the formation of the two-party system. It was Madison who did the most to initiate George Washington's presidency while Jefferson was in France in the role of diplomat. Together, this remarkable duo arguably did more than all the others in their generation to set the course of American political development. MADISON AND JEFFERSON is an intense narrative of high-stakes competition that exposes the beating heart of a rowdy republic in its first fifty years, while giving more than a few clues as to why we are a politically divided nation today. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. 809 pp, with Index. *Packed carefully and shipped in a box to arrive in excellent condition.
