Illustrated with Map of the United States at the End of the Revolution. "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks, a revelatory new look at the founding fathers that examines their educations and, in particular, their devotion to the ancient Greek and Roman classics - and how that influence shaped their ideals and the new American nation. .Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders' thinking, and the letters they wrote to one another debating these crucial works - among them the Iliad, Plutarch's Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid to the influence of English political philosophers closer to their own era, like John Locke, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world. The first four American presidents came by their classical knowledge in different ways: Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams learned it through the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madision, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and their distinctive learning styles and choices, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, and in viewing these men through the unusual lens of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew. First Principles follows these four members of the Revolutionalry generation from youth to adulthood as they grappled with questions of independence and with forming and keeping a new nation. In doing so, Ricks not only interprets ethe effect of the ancient world on each man and how their classical educations shaped our constitution and governmemt, but also offers startling new insights into these legendary leaders." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
