About this title

Review:

"Leibiger has written an important narrative and analysis of the collaboration between Madison and Washington... that forces readers to rethink the history of the early Republic" --Choice

--John M. Murrin, Princeton University

The pairing of prominent individuals for analytical purposes has long been common among historians of this era. In rediscovering Washington and the crucial partnership with Madison, Leibiger is developing what may in fact be the most interesting and revealing pairing of all.

--Drew McCoy, Clark University
