"An exceptionally well researched and persuasively written book [that] asks who Jefferson was in new and exciting ways. This is a book that needed to be written, and happily, is one that was undertaken by an exceedingly thorough, judicious, open-minded, and creative historian.—Andrew Burstein, University of Tulsa, author of Jefferson’s Secrets: Death and Desire at Monticello"Thomas Jefferson continues to enthrall, excite and enrage academics, students and members of the American public. This book promises to provide a useful study of Jefferson’s construction of his own historical image, and the reconstructions of that image that have occurred over the past half century.
