From Wikipedia: "Jon Ellis Meacham (born May 20, 1969) is executive editor and executive vice president at Random House. He is a former editor-in-chief of Newsweek, a contributing editor to Time Magazine, editor-at-large of WNET, and a commentator on politics, history, and religious faith in America. He won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for his work American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House." Jefferson was the father of the ideal of individual liberty, of the Louisiana Purchase, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and of the settling of the West. Jefferson recognized that the genius of humanity--and the genius of the new nation--lay in the possibility of progress. Jefferson was central to his age. Here also is the personal Jefferson, a man of appetite, sensuality, and passion.
