Book Recommendation

In Founding Brothers, Joseph Ellis eloquently peals away the onion-and thus the often glossed over mystery-of the forming of our nation. Ellis tells us in this Pulitzer -Prize winning book how a group of ordinary men-ordinary in that they possessed mortal flaws as any other man-pulled together extraordinary compromises as they ushered our republic, the United States of America, through its early days. Ellis goes beyond the grandeur that we most often associate with men like Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, and Adams to reveal new insights.
