by LYNNE CHENEY
- Publisher: Viking Adult; First Edition edition (May 6, 2014)
Penguin Random House has asked me to host a book giveaway for Lynne Cheney's fascinating book, James Madison: A Life Reconsidered. Just in time for the fireworks and celebrations for the 4th of July, this year, someone will be fortunate to win this treasure.
I read this amazing history of James Madison and for those of you who devour American History you won't want to miss this biography. Ms. Cheney, has studied Madison since the late 80's. Her portrait of this dynamic political powerhouse will grasp your attention from the beginning. I will post a review for viewers in the next few days, but until then take advantage of this generous giveaway sponsored by the publisher. ~WL
This majestic new biography of James Madison explores the astonishing story of a man of vaunted modesty who audaciously changed the world. Among the Founding Fathers, Madison was a true genius of the early republic.
Outwardly reserved, Madison was the intellectual driving force behind the Constitution and crucial to its ratification. His visionary political philosophy and rationale for the union of states—so eloquently presented in The Federalist papers—helped shape the country Americans live in today.
Along with Thomas Jefferson, Madison would found the first political party in the country’s history—the Democratic Republicans. As Jefferson’s secretary of state, he managed the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the United States. As president, Madison led the country in its first war under the Constitution, the War of 1812. Without precedent to guide him, he would demonstrate that a republic could defend its honor and independence—and remain a republic still.
