Publisher Description:
The definitive life of Jefferson in one volume, this biography relates Jefferson's private life and thought to his prominent public position and reveals the rich complexity of his development. As Peterson explores the dominant themes guiding Jefferson's career--democracy, nationality, and
enlightenment--and Jefferson's powerful role in shaping America, he simultaneously tells the story of nation coming into being.
