Following Thomas Jefferson from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to his retirement in Monticello, Joseph J. Ellis unravels the contradictions of the Jeffersonian character.  He gives us the slaveholding libertarian who was capable of decrying mescegenation while maintaing an intimate relationship with his slave, Sally Hemmings; the enemy of government power who exercisdd it audaciously as president; the visionarty who remained curiously blind to the inconsistencies in his nature.  American Sphinx is a marvel of scholarship, a delight to read, and an essential gloss on the Jeffersonian legacy.

Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

Audio Book American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson with FREE PDF EDITION!

On one side, this book gives a different perspective of Thomas Jefferson than many may be familiar with, one that I am sure the author intends to be a balanced perspective. I find reading different perspectives of history and historical figures to generally be useful, since it can lead to additional insights into the people and the era.This book does that to some extent.Unfortunately, this book has some of the fundamental errors that I find insufferable in any history or biography. First, is the application of the author's own prejudices and political viewpoints upon the subject. This clearly comes through a number of places in the work and it is a factor that takes away from the value of the work. Second, is the author's constant foray into speculation of "reading Jefferson's mind" - speculation that is nothing more than speculation, it is certainly not something one can prove from Jefferson's actions or his deeds.It is an interesting book and spends more time on Jefferson's mission to France and his correspondence late in life with John Adams than many other biographies have. If you are going to read only one book on Jefferson, this is not the one I would recommend (I would recommend Jon Meacham's Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power if you are going to read only one).
