More About the Author

Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States (1801-1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. He envisioned America as the force behind a great "Empire of Liberty" that would promote republicanism and counter the imperialism of the British Empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Padover brings out Jefferson the Democrat, January 27, 2003

By 

G. F Gori "Jeffersonian libertarian" (Manteca, ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Democracy. (Hardcover)

This wee little book orginally published in 1939 and reprinted in several editions since then is really excellent. It was written before the post-modern and multicultural cancer which has metastsized throughout the history "profession". Padover comes from an era where the greatness of Jefferson and other Founding Fathers was revered and cherished as the birthright of American liberty and democracy. Padover shows Jefferson's views on slavery, prospects for democracy in South America, the French Revolution, the Federalists, Alien and Sedition Acts, and the American Revolution. He does this without the political correctness of today, and it's contempt for white males of any kind, but especially of the kind from the 18th century. Jefferson shines in all his glory from quote to quote. If one can get this book, do it! You will not be disappointed.
