Synopsis:
It is the major premise of this book that the story of Thomas Jefferson in American History is a strange case of mistaken identity resulting in part from willful misrepresentation but even more from the wishful thinking of both admirers and detractors.
Review: In this fascinating account of Thomas Jefferson's many contradictions and complexities, master biographer Alf J. Mapp provides a compelling portrait of the great man and reveals why Jefferson was as much an enigma in his own times as he is in ours.--James P. Horn, Abby and George O'Neill Director, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and author of "Land as God Made It: Jamestown and the Birt
