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.
