Description

A seminal biography of Thomas Jefferson and an enchanting exploration of his relationship with Sally Hemings.

With a novelist’s skill and a scholar’s meticulous detail, Fawn M. Brodie portrays Thomas Jefferson as he wrestled with the nice issues of his time: revolution, religion, power, race, and love―ambivalences that exerted a subtle but powerful influence on his political ideas and his presidency. Far advanced for its time, Brodie’s biography used to be the primary to set forth a convincing case that Thomas Jefferson used to be the daddy of children by his slave Sally Hemings. In a new introduction, Annette Gordon-Reed, the Pulitzer Prize–winning creator of The Hemingses of Monticello, explores the affect of Brodie’s groundbreaking book and explains why it’s still this type of powerful account of one in all our greatest and most elusive presidents. 16 pages of illustrations
