Zusammenfassung:
Bernstein presents an overview of the brilliant, flawed, and quarrelsome group of lawyers, politicians, merchants, military men, and clergy known as the 'Founding Fathers' - who got as close to the ideal of the Platonic 'philosopher-kings' as American or world history has ever seen. The book reveals Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, and the other founders not as shining demigods but as imperfect human beings who nevertheless achieved political greatness.
