A review by fictionwriter
Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon Meacham

4.0

Jefferson the politician and president, a great and complex human being forever engaged in the wars of his era. Philosophers think; politicians maneuver. Jefferson’s genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. Such is the art of power.

Fascinating psychological study of the lengths to which Jefferson would go to avoid confrontation while all the time trying not to relinquish the power.

Excellent reading by Ed Herrmann.
