About the Book

Perhaps the most hotly debated character in American history, Jefferson stands as an enigma representing different and often contradictory ideas. This concise biography answers many of the contradictions of Jefferson's fruitful life. Specifically, it finds continuity in his evolving philosophy of political economy. Because Jefferson was not a man intellectually tied to a single ideology, he was able to embrace competing 'persuasions' that seem to us incompatible today. Indeed, Jefferson's rhetoric was more a matter of time and circumstance than an element of absolute belief. The Jefferson that emerges is not only a facile thinker but also a consummate politician.

About the Author :
Norman K. Risjord is emeritus professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he taught for over three decades. He is author of Chesapeake Politics, 1781-1800; The Old Republicans: Southern Conservatism in the Age of Jefferson; Representative Americans; and Jefferson's America, 1760-1815. Professor Risjord has also written several widely-adopted college and high school history textbooks. He is the general editor of the American Profiles series for Madison House.

Review :
Jefferson admirers will be delighted to add this work to their collections, for Norman Risjord has adroitly summarized Thomas Jefferson's extraordinary life and career. . . . [An] excellently told narrative. . . . Few biographies read as well as this one. . . . The result is a charmingly told story that leaves the reader with the feeling of having personally visited with the 'Man of Monticello.' A fine introduction to the intellectual and political life of a man who continues to captivate scholars, students, and general readers alike. Easily the best one-volume biography of the whole Thomas Jefferson-lucid and balanced-a joy to read.
