Adams Vs. Jefferson
by John E. Ferling
A fascinating history of the turbulent presidential campaign of 1800 follows the clash between the two candidates, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, and their profoundly different visions of the future of America, the machinations that ultimately led to Jefferson's victory, and the long-term repercussions of the campaign.
America Afire
by Bernard A. Weisberger
America Afire is the powerful story of the election of 1800, arguably the most important election in America's history and certainly one of the most hotly disputed. Former allies Adams and Jefferson, president versus vice president, Federalist versus Republican, squared off in a vicious contest that resulted in broken friendships, scandals, riots, slander, and jailings in the fourth presidential election under the Constitution.
America Declares Independence
by Alan Dershowitz
The Declaration of Independence as you’ve never seen it before. Some of us cherish it with near-scriptural reverence. Others simply take it for granted. In this contentious new look at the Declaration of Independence, however, celebrated attorney Alan Dershowitz takes "America’s birth certificate" and its principal author, Thomas Jefferson, to task. Dershowitz searches for the sources, history, and underlying reasoning that produced the Declaration and its particular language, from its reference to the "Laws of Nature and Nature’s God" through the long list of complaints against the abuses of King George III. He points out contradictions within the document, notes how the meanings of Jefferson’s words have changed over the centuries, and asks many disturbing questions, including: Where do rights come from? Do we have "unalienable rights"? Do rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" have any meaning? How could slaveowners claim to believe that "all men are created equal"? Is the God of the Declaration the God of the Bible?; Does the Declaration establish a Christian State? Are there "Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God"? Challenging, upsetting, and controversial, this brilliant polemic may anger you, delight you, or force you to reexamine your opinions. One thing’s for sure: after reading AMERICA DECLARES INDEPENDENCE, you’ll never take the Declaration of Independence for granted again.
