FOUNDING BROTHERS(ISBN=9780375705243) rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

　　In this landmark work of history, the National Book

Award—winning author of American Sphinx explores how a group of

greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals–Hamilton, Burr,

Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison–confronted the

overwhelming challenges before them to set the course for our

nation.

The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790.

During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers–re-examined

here as Founding Brothers–combined the ideals of the Declaration of

Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the

practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six

fascinating episodes–Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s

precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams’ administration and

political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to

place the capital, Franklin’s attempt to force Congress to confront

the issue of slavery and Madison’s attempts to block him, and

Jefferson and Adams’ famous correspondence–Founding Brothers brings

to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important

decade in our nation’s history.
