A stirring portrait of ambition, power, and nation-making that reads like a study in momentum and consequence.

It is accessible to the history student reader while offering rich material for researchers and classic-literature collectors alike. Conant's narrative is notable for its careful context, energetic pacing, and reverent examination of a figure whose life intersects with George Washington biographies and the wider drama of founding fathers biographies.
