Alf J. Mapp, Jr. is Eminent Scholar Emeritus at Old Dominion University and an internationally recognized scholar on Thomas Jefferson. His numerous publications include Faiths of Our Fathers: What America's Founding Fathers Really Believed, The Virginia Experiment, and Thomas Jefferson: America's Paradoxical Patriot.
A fresh interpretation. . . . No previous biography matches this
one in depicting Jefferson's far-ranging and insatiable intellect,
his sense of humor or the spiritual dimension of his thought.
*Publishers Weekly*
An engrossing biography that pays full tribute to Jefferson's
personal genius and political achievements.
*Kirkus*
A fine sequel to the first volume, written with clarity and style .
. . the conclusion of a most ambitious Jefferson biography.
*Jack McLaughlin, author of Jefferson and Monticello, a National
Book Award nominee*
Alf Mapp's second volume on Thomas Jefferson is even better than
his first. This picture of Jefferson's life, character, and
achievements from the time of his presidency until his death is
brilliantly revealing and sharply etched. The catholicity of his
genius and his astonishing accomplishments despite waning strength,
physical ills and impending financial disaster are masterfully
described.
*Virginius Dabney*
