About this product

Product Information

A bestselling historian examines the life of a Founding Father. Renowned historian and social commentator Garry Wills takes a fresh look at the life of James Madison, from his rise to prominence in the colonies through his role in the creation of the Articles of Confederation and the first Constitutional Congress. Madison oversaw the first foreign war under the constitution, and was forced to adjust some expectations he had formed while drafting that document. Not temperamentally suited to be a wartime President, Madison nonetheless confronted issues such as public morale, internal security, relations with Congress, and the independence of the military. Wills traces Madison's later life during which, like many recent Presidents, he enjoyed greater popularity than while in office.

James Madison by Garry Wills
Read about one of the Founding Fathers and author of the Bill of Rights. See what an incredibly smart and energetic person he was during the formative years of our country. His input into building the structure of our Constitution was so important it's hard to believe we would be the same country without his tireless fight to jump start this new Republic.
