description
Following his subject from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to his retirement in Monticello, Joseph Ellis unravels the contradictions of the Jeffersonian character. A marvel of scholarship, a delight to read, and an essential gloss on the Jeffersonian legacy, 'American Sphinx' is 'history at its best' ('Chicago Tribune'). Winner of the National Book Award.
