Product Information
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Jon Meacham, "a big, grand, absorbing exploration of not just Jefferson and his role in history but also Jefferson the man, humanized as never before" (Entertainment Weekly ) "Probably the best single-volume biography of Jefferson ever written."--Gordon S. Wood A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, The Seattle Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, BookPage This magnificent biography brings vividly to life an extraordinary man and his remarkable times, giving us Thomas Jefferson the man, the politician, and the president. A Founder whose understanding of power and of human nature enabled him to move men and marshal ideas, to learn from his mistakes and to prevail, Jefferson was passionate about many things--women, his family, science, architecture, gardening, Monticello, Paris, and more. He strove, despite fierce opposition, to realize his vision: the creation, survival, and success of popular government in America. Drawing on archives in the United States, England, and France, as well as unpublished transcripts of Jefferson presidential papers, Jon Meacham shows us the personal Jefferson, a man of appetite, sensuality, and passion. He also presents Jefferson as the most successful political leader of the early republic, and perhaps in all American history, a leader who found the means to endure and to win. His story resonates today not least because he led his nation through ferocious partisanship amid economic change and external threats. Jefferson also embodies an eternal drama, the struggle of the leadership of a nation to achieve greatness in a difficult and confounding world.

Reviews
"This terrific book allows us to see the political genius of Thomas Jefferson better than we have ever seen it before. In these endlessly fascinating pages, Jefferson emerges with such vitality that it seems as if he might still be alive today."-- DORIS KEARNS GODWIN , author of Team of Rivals "Jon Meacham resolves the bundle of contradictions that was Thomas Jefferson by probing his love of progress and thirst for power. Here was a man endlessly, artfully intent on making the world something it had not been before. A thrilling and affecting portrait of our first philosopher-politician."-- STACY SCHIFF , author of Cleopatra: A Life " A true triumph . In addition to being a brilliant biography, this book is a guide to the use of power. Jon Meacham shows how Jefferson's deft ability to compromise and improvise made him a transformational leader. We think of Jefferson as the embodiment of noble ideals, as he was, but Meacham shows that he was a practical politician more than a moral theorist. The result is a fascinating look at how Jefferson wielded his driving desire for power and control."-- WALTER ISAACSON , author of Steve Jobs "This is probably the best single-volume biography of Jefferson ever written ; it is certainly the most readable."-- GORDON WOOD , author of The Radicalism of the American Revolution, Advance praise for Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power "Jon Meacham resolves the bundle of contradictions that was Thomas Jefferson by probing his love of progress and thirst for power.

Wood "Jon Meacham understands Thomas Jefferson. With thorough and up-to-date research, elegant writing, deep insight, and an open mind, he brings Jefferson, the most talented politician of his generation-and one of the most talented in our nation's history-into full view. This is an extraordinary work."-Annette Gordon-Reed From the Hardcover edition.

Shipped quickly and packaged well, but the description clearly stated that the record and sleeve were in excellent condition, whereas upon listening to the record, calling it VG would be pushing it, there are way too many pops to call this anywhere near excellent, not to mention multiple marks on the sleeve that make it not equal to the excellent rating given by the seller, although, given the shockingly low price I didn't knock down any more than 1 Star and a neutral rating
