"Stewart has a knack for offering telling details that humanize
historical figures . . . Madison's Gift is a fascinating look at
how unfinished the nation was in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, and how one unlikely figure managed to help guide it
from a precarious confederation of reluctant states to a
self-governing republic that has prospered for more than two
centuries."--Richmond Times-Dispatch
"This eminently readable work is recommended for lay readers and
should be considered alongside Lynne Cheney's James
Madison."--Library Journal
"David Stewart has created a compelling and nuanced portrait of
Madison that reveals him anew. Madison's Gift is a fascinating
exploration of the profound emotional bonds behind the young
Republic."--Amanda Foreman, author of "A World on Fire"
