Book Description
"As a journalist, orator, politician, historian, and diplomat, Bowers defended democracy locally, nationally, and internationally. Through his writings and as editor for newspapers in Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, and New York, Bowers supported liberal reform. Nationally, Bowers was an outspoken proponent of William Jennings Bryan's populist ideas, Woodrow Wilson's progressivism, and Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Internationally, he served six years as ambassador to Spain followed by fourteen years as ambassador to Chile." "With best-sellers such as Jefferson and Hamilton: The Struggle for Democracy in America (1925) and The Tragic Era: The Revolution after Lincoln (1929), Bowers "renewed the definition of American Politics." His democratic writings, speeches, and talks won the respect of national and international leaders, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Manuel Azana, and authors such as Theodore Dreiser and Ernest Hemingway."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book Description
New York Times Bestseller Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle Finalist for the George Washington Prize Finalist for the Library of Virginia Literary Award A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection "An important book…[R]ichly rewarding. It is full of fascinating insights about Jefferson." —Gordon S. Wood, New York Review of Books Hailed by critics and embraced by readers, "Most Blessed of the Patriarchs" is one of the richest and most insightful accounts of Thomas Jefferson in a generation. Following her Pulitzer Prize–winning The Hemingses of Monticello¸ Annette Gordon-Reed has teamed with Peter S. Onuf to present a provocative and absorbing character study, "a fresh and layered analysis" (New York Times Book Review) that reveals our third president as "a dynamic, complex and oftentimes contradictory human being" (Chicago Tribune). Gordon-Reed and Onuf fundamentally challenge much of what we thought we knew, and through their painstaking research and vivid prose create a portrait of Jefferson, as he might have painted himself, one "comprised of equal parts sun and shadow" (Jane Kamensky).

Book Description
Excerpt from Democracy Today: An American Interpretation Under our form of government, the President occupies a place that has no exact parallel in the government of any other important country. In the last analysis we are gov erned by public Opinion, of which the President is chief exponent. He is the country's spokesman, not merely by' custom but by express Constitutional provision and man date. He is directed to inform Congress from time to time concerning the vital interests of the United States. He is also made the spokesman of the country in its dealings with foreign governments. The President's Messages to Congress are not merely a form of communication between the executive and the law making authority, but they are intended to give information and guidance to the citizenship. Thus we have a surprising quantity of important historical and governmental material of an authoritative kind in the unbroken series of Presiden tial messages and addresses, beginning with the first in augural of George Washington and coming down to the latest official utterance of Woodrow Wilson.
