Richard Brookhiser
James Madison led one of the most influential and prolific lives in American history, and his storyâ€”although all too often overshadowed by his more celebrated contemporariesâ€”is integral to that of the nation. Madison helped to shape our country as perhaps no other Founder: collaborating on the Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights, resisting government overreach by assembling one of the nationâ€™s first political parties (the Republicans, who became todayâ€™s Democrats), and taking to the battlefield during the War of 1812, becoming the last president to lead troops in combat. In this penetrating biography, eminent historian Richard Brookhiser presents a vivid portrait of the â€œFather of the Constitution,â€ an accomplished yet humble statesman who nourished Americansâ€™ fledgling liberty and vigorously defended the laws that have preserved it to this day.
