Review:

Cunningham has composed a well-written, fluid and engrossing text that covers the major political difference between Jefferson and Hamilton. He has developed a well-defined theme that holds throughout the chapters and one that is very appropriate for an undergraduate audience ... The documents are major strengths; they allow the reader to see Jefferson and Hamilton as real people with real fears and concerns about the world in which they lived.' - Gene A. Smith, Texas Christian University

'The selection of documents is terrific, showing imagination as well as knowledge of the sources. The author is particularly adept at using the two men, through their own words, as a springboard to discuss broadly conflicting conceptions of the nature and ideology of the new republic.' - Carl Prince, New York University
