With his critical and popular successes Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson and Unwise Passions: A True Story of a Remarkable Woman and the First Great Scandal of Eighteenth Century America Alan Pell Crawford has established himself as an engaging and insightful interpreter of early American history.Crawford's textured narratives of the personal as well as political lives of the Founders and their families have entertained and enlightened audiences as well as readers.His next book This Fierce People a revisionist narrative history of the American Revolution examines how the Founding Fathers themselves came belatedly to embrace the cause of independence-how in responding to events on the ground they came to an entirely new understanding of the nature of leadership itself.We think of the Founders as men of marble but they knew that human hearts (including their own) could be dark and tempestuous the Wall Street Journal observed.

That is why they built their political systems with such care. Unwise Passions is the black velvet backdrop to an introductory course in political philosophy. It is an unbeatable tale which Alan Pell Crawford relates in [a] delightful book.
