RAKOVE, JACK N. (INTRODUCTION)
Founding America: Documents from the Revolution to the Bill of Rights
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2006. Trade Paperback. Very Good. This collection features tight binding, bright pages and clear text. Some edge wear is present. 2006 Trade Paperback. 672pp. Modern American politicians refer to ā€oethe foundersā€ so often that they're in danger of becoming clichĆ©s. But Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abigail and John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, James Madison, James Monroe, and the other authors included in this new collection were a wholly unique—and complex—group of individuals, graced with extraordinary intellectual powers, a profound dedication to their ideals, and a striking ability to articulate those ideals in clear and passionate prose.

Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. This historical account contains bright pages and tight binding. The dust jacket shows some edge wear and scuffing on the back. One page has been dog-eared. 2010 Hard Cover. n the early 1770s, the men who invented America were living quiet, provincial lives in the rustic backwaters of the New World, devoted primarily to family, craft, and the private pursuit of wealth and happiness. None set out to become "revolutionary" by ambition, but when events in Boston escalated, they found themselves thrust into a crisis that moved, in a matter of months, from protest to war. In this remarkable book, the historian Jack Rakove shows how the private lives of these men were suddenly transformed into public careers—how Washington became a strategist, Franklin a pioneering cultural diplomat, Madison a sophisticated constitutional thinker, and Hamilton a brilliant policymaker. Rakove shakes off accepted notions of these men as godlike visionaries, focusing instead on the evolution of their ideas and the crystallizing of their purpose. In Revolutionaries, we see the founders before they were fully formed leaders, as individuals whose lives were radically altered by the explosive events of the mid-1770s. They were ordinary men who became extraordinary—a transformation that finally has the literary treatment it deserves.
