This review is from: The Papers of John C. Calhoun: 1844 (Hardcover)
John C. Calhoun was a complex man. Many biographers have attempted to capture the essence of this politician and some have done a good job, others have failed miserably, and still others have seen him as only fit for the lower levels of Hell or in a straightjacket. This is to be expected because biographers/historians are after all only human. If we read all of them we get a confused picture with no enlightenment. If we read only one, we have a picture of only one side of the man and that more than likely biased. To form as true a picture as we can master ourselves we must read what the man said and wrote for ourselves. The editors of the collected works have done a marvelous job is supplying us with the tools we need. The books in this series are highly recommended to anyone who wants a clear picture of the man and his times.
