About this Item

160 S. Einband leicht berieben. Rücken ausgebleicht. Geschenkwidmung. - Virginia produced four men-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, who provided leadership for the first thirty years of our nation's life. In this perceptive and dramatic history, Professor Sydnor has examined the social climate in which these men were trained and the political practices by which they were elected. Here is a vivid picture of late eighteenth-century Virginia. Without romanticizing or unnecessary detail, Washington and "the Virginia dynasty" are brought convincingly to life. The political backdrop against which they moved is carefully recreated, giving us new insight into the making of leaders in a democracy.
