Was Aaron Burr a traitor or a patriot? Did he kill Alexander Hamilton in that historic due in self defense? Did he deserve his infamy or was he a political scapegoat? In an extraordinary narrative, a historical novel probably without precedent in American literary annals, Gore Vidal illuminates the tumultous career of the nation's third Vice President- a man of immense charm, wit and intelligence, an accomplished scamp whom women found irresistable- and surrounds him with a gallery of Founding Fathers, etching their portraits in acid. Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lafayette, Marshall. Vidal's novel is a masterly satire, an engrossing piece of magic and a devastating picture of our young republic.
