Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis Book Summary

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A landmark work of history explores how a group of greatly gifted but deeply flawed individuals—Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and Madison—confronted the overwhelming challenges before them to set the course for our nation.

“A splendid book—humane, learned, written with flair and radiant with a calm intelligence and wit.” —The New York Times Book Review

The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790. During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers—re-examined here as Founding Brothers—combined the ideals of the Declaration of Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six fascinating episodes—Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams’ administration and political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to place the capital, Franklin’s attempt to force Congress to confront the issue of slavery and Madison’s attempts to block him, and Jefferson and Adams’ famous correspondence—Founding Brothers brings to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important decade in our nation’s history.

Only for school. Doing this because I need a late project done and I have already turned in book but saw this price tag and I'm done not for 12 bucks this book is horrible it may have a few good insights but otherwise it's a goodnight sleep pill never read unless you long for sleep or your a student who needs to and any history teacher that sees this: do not force kids to read this just don't we wonder why they don't want to read and we hand them this crap we call good books.

Not the best, not the worst.. Quite a boring book. A lot of unnecessary information. Only about half of the pages actually captivated my attention span.

Such Confusion. Much letters. Such words. Many confusions. Little fun. Much torture. Run while you still can.

Unfair criricism. I must respond to the five reviews submitted so far. Nearly all of them seem to be written by high school students forced to read this book. I read it as an adult when it came out and remember it so fondly, especially after just seeing “Hamilton” the musical and also now while our glorious democracy is in jeopardy. I thought “The Founding Brothers” was a great read, not boring at all. The lack of appreciation for these engrossing stories and the subject matter itself is scary to me. What are these students’ history classes like? What are their schools like? It’s no wonder two thirds of Millennials can’t name the three branches of government.

Way overpriced. It should be $5 at the most. Worst book ever.

Great insight, well documented.. To many quote and interpret the constitution to fit their own ideology without understanding the thought and struggles that went into creating it. This book leaves you wondering where the great political minds of our generation are hiding yet humanizes the men that formed our government. It also shows you how fragile our early government was and that partisan politics is as old as our constitution. An interesting read for those looking for more insights into the thoughts of our founding fathers.
