The Jefferson and His Time Series - Book 2
Jefferson and the Rights of Man
“Jefferson and the Rights of Man is better, even, than its predecessor, and that is saying a great deal. What I like particularly is that Malone carries his great learning so lightly, that he has, by some miracle, achieved something of Jefferson’s own combination of profundity and erudition and gracefulness.”
Henry Steele Commager
The second volume in this Pulitzer Prize–winning six-volume biography tells the story of the eventful middle years in the life of Thomas Jefferson: his ministry to France in the years just before the French Revolution and during the early stages of that conflict; his service as secretary of state in President George Washington’s first cabinet; the crucial period of his first differences with Alexander Hamilton and the beginnings of his long struggle with the Federalists.
