Mailbox Monday July 6, 2009

Mailbox Monday is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t count, eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

Triumvirate, by Bruce Chadwick
From the News Release:

They were simply known by the common Latin phrase Publius, meaning "to proclaim" or "to bring before the public"-James Madison, who would become the fourth President of the United States; John Jay, who would be appointed the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; and Alexander Hamilton, who would go on to become the young nation's first Secretary of the Treasury.

In his new book, Triumvirate: The Story of the Unlikely Alliance Tat Saved the Constitution and United the Nation author Bruce Chadwick brings alive the dramatic story of how the trio convinced a weak alliance of thirteen independent-minded states to join together and create a united country.
