Very much planned to correspond with Ken Burns' narrative(on which the writer filled in as a specialist), this new memoir doesn't mean to uproot the numerous huge tomes about America's third president that as of now burden bookshelves. Rather, as proposed by the subtitle- - "The Character of Thomas Jefferson"- - Ellis looks for the "no nonsense individual" underneath the symbol and tries to illustrate his real convictions. Jefferson's most passionate admirers may locate this point of view excessively basic, however Ellis' representation of a complex, here and there insidious man who both looked for and loathed control has the ring of truth.
very lengthy for such plot which kills enthusiasm.
