About the book

Founding Fathers of the USA brings together four biographies: Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson, George Washington by Joseph J. Ellis, John Adams by James Grant and Thomas Jefferson by R. B. Bernstein. Their lives illuminate different contributions to American independence and the creation of a new republic. Diplomacy, military leadership, constitutional argument and political rivalry emerge through people whose ideals did not always agree with one another or with their own conduct. The collection offers a way to understand the American Revolution and its aftermath through the relationships, convictions and compromises of four central figures.
