1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time   June 9, 2008

This is a terribly silly book, with numerous factual errors concerning the American Revolution to the point that the book's reliability is seriously weakened. Also, the authors present it as a fact that Jefferson had a sexual relationaship with Sally Hemmings. While this may be true, it has not been established conclusively to the point that the authors take it for granted. Another serious problem is that the lack of evidence regarding Hull doesn't seem to stop the authros from making gigantic leaps of faith in describing his emotions, thoughts, etc. Just not enough there. This book should be deemed "semi-fiction."

An extremely interesting book. It tells what actually happened in history and does it with excellent writing.
