Enlightening. To say the least. A very good light into the politics of our country. Not exactly what you learned in school. The author did his homework and when you finish this book, you will have a new perspective. For example,Jefferson was so active in undermining Adams that when he became President he got a law passed making it an act of sedition to speak against the President. That Hamilton actually slandered Burr in the news and Burr warned him that he would kill him. At the time Bur was the Vice President. I know I was not told that in school.
