Book 2: The Second AMERICAN Revolution – How Two Partisan Virginians Poisoned America’s Political System
In this book, James Thompson presents a long overdue examination of the ten-year insurgency Thomas Jefferson and his political partner, James Madison, conducted against Alexander Hamilton and his plan to rebuild and vitalize America’s post-revolution economy. Thompson replaces the philosophical visionary Dumas Malone portrayed in his six-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson with the real man. The real Thomas Jefferson was a cunning and ambitious power-seeker who Thompson characterizes as “the Wizard of Monticello.”
