Customer Reviews

Lucid; nicely done

Very well-written and easy to follow. Makes much more sense than Gary Wills mistitled and convoluted "Negro President." Only drawback is that it is a bit dated (1971) and the interp. of Thomas Jefferson may be slightly too much on the favorable side esp. in light of recent analysis.
