I enjoyed his 2015 effort, “the great divide”, where he examines the deteriorating relationship between george washington and the increasingly treacherous thomas jefferson.
warning: if you have bought in to the popular myth surrounding TJ, avoid this book. it will definitely make you angry.
Fleming wrote a very excellent book titled Washington’s Secret War. I have truly enjoyed several of his books.
Sort of excited to see what is in the two boks mentioned here.
The more one actually learns about Thomas Jefferson the less they’ll like him.
I’ve long held that the Louisiana Purchase was the beginning of the end of “Strict Construction,” and so whatever good Jefferson did, the author of the Declaration of Independence ultimately destroyed the brilliancy of Madison. Macon’s Bill number 2 was also idiotic, but that was later.
What was Jefferson up to under Washington that was treacherous?
Three cheers for Patrick Henry.
Thomas Jefferson used to be one of my favorite founding fathers. Because of his actions against Washington, and other things, he has dropped for me. Still indispensable to the revolution but I’m glad he was in France during the constitutional convention.
