Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation

In a landmark work of history, the National Book Award-winning author of "American Sphinx" explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed men--Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison--set the course for our nation. A national bestseller now in paperback, "Founding Brothers" is the basis for an upcoming series of the same name on The History Channel. NPR sponsorship.
