Omschrijving

"The action comes alive" in this extraordinary true account of America's Founding Fathers--including Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams--from Pulitzer Prize finalist Winston Groom (Washington Post).

Delve into the inner workings of America's dramatic founding in this riveting narrative from best-selling author Winston Groom.

When the Revolutionary War ended in victory, there remained a stupendous problem: establishing a workable democratic government in the vast, newly independent country. Three Founding Fathers played significant roles: the brilliant and dour New Englander John Adams, the Southern renaissance man Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the Caribbean island of Nevis. Their lives could not have been more different.

Despite their sometimes contentious relationships, these men led the charge in forming the new United States. Jefferson and Adams helped create the Declaration of Independence while Hamilton established a national treasury and the earliest delineation of the Republican party. The time in which they lived was fraught with danger, and their achievements were strained by vast antagonisms that recall the intense political polarization of today. But through it all, they managed to shoulder the heavy mantle of creating the United States of America.

Drawing on extensive research and tapping into his deep wells of storytelling prowess, The Patriots finds Groom at the peak of his powers to recount the remarkable story of America's beginnings.
