About this product
Product Information
From bestselling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H.W. Brands, a revelatory history of the shocking emergence of vicious political division at the birth of the United States. Founding Partisans is a lively narrative of the early years of the republic as the Founding Fathers fought one another with competing visions of what our nation would be. To the framers of the Constitution, political parties were an existential threat to republican virtues. They had suffered the consequences of partisan politics in Britain before the American Revolution, and they wanted nothing similar for America. Yet parties emerged even before the Constitution was ratified, and they took even firmer root in the following decade. The first party, the Federalists, formed around Alexander Hamilton and his efforts to overthrow the Articles of Confederation. Thomas Jefferson and the opposition organized as the Antifederalists, the precursor to the Republicans. The two factions wrestled as George Washington tried to remain above the fray. John Adams, however, our second president, was an avowed Federalist, and very much in the scrum. The country's first years unfolded in a contentious spiral of ugly elections and blatant violations of the Constitution. Still, peaceful transfers of power continued, and the nascent country made its way towards global dominance, against all odds. Founding Partisans is a powerful reminder that fierce partisanship is a problem as old as the republic, one we've survived time and time again.

Reviews
A Kirkus Reviews Best History Book of 2023 "The author writes with a sharp and absorbing style, turning what could be a fairly dry topic into a highly readable tale worthy of a cable miniseries with backstabbing characters, high drama, shady deals, and huge egos all clashing to determine the course of the new country. For anyone who thinks that gridlock and partisan machinations are a recent development, this book will quickly lay those misconceptions to rest."-- New York Journal of Books "Mr. Brands has a genius for plotting out real events; a novelist could hardly do better""-- New York Sun "As H.W. Brands reminds us in this absorbing new book, partisanship is an ancient, indeed perennial, force in human affairs. From the early hours of the Republic, Americans of good will have struggled to ensure that party feeling be not reflexive but reflective. On that distinction, the Founders understood, hangs the fate of popular government."-- Jon Meacham, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of American Lion "An essential book for understanding the foundation of American partisanship."-- Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review* "Revolutionary War buffs will relish this."-- Publishers Weekly "Brands' storytelling prowess preserves the debaters' individual personalities and clearly constructs the grand narrative of the Convention's crafting of one of the political world's greatest documents." -- Booklist, A Kirkus Reviews Best History Book of 2023 "A compelling retelling...[Brands's] industry is intimidating, as is his ability to blend efficient research with solid prose. Brands puts these to good use in Founding Partisans ."-- Washington Post " Founding Partisans reads less like a work of history than a journalist's insider account of high politics, except here the intemperate, backbiting quotations come from sources who are safely dead rather than anonymous."-- Wall Street Journal "An engaging examination of the early period of the country's history. But a reader cannot help but believe that this volume is intended to help Americans navigate the current brawl of politics. . . [ Founding Partisans ] illuminates the chinks in the American political system as much as the suppleness of it."-- Boston Globe "The author writes with a sharp and absorbing style, turning what could be a fairly dry topic into a highly readable tale worthy of a cable miniseries with backstabbing characters, high drama, shady deals, and huge egos all clashing to determine the course of the new country. For anyone who thinks that gridlock and partisan machinations are a recent development, this book will quickly lay those misconceptions to rest."-- New York Journal of Books "Mr. Brands has a genius for plotting out real events; a novelist could hardly do better"-- New York Sun "As H.W.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
