Thomas Jefferson and John Adams: Rivals in the New Nation (Paperback)

Following the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams fundamentally didn't agree on how the country should be run. Both men would be president--and yet, they didn't see eye to eye for many years. This book offers a unique take on the founding of the United States through the eyes of two Founding Fathers, including the writing of the U.S. Constitution and the creation of the first political parties. Quotes from the prolific writings of both Jefferson and Adams provide a true look at their beliefs and historical images take readers right into the rooms where it happened.
