Thomas Jefferson by Natalie Bober
To many Americans, Thomas Jefferson is the architect of our freedom. This book takes into the Jefferson's world, to help us understand what it meant to be a man of his time.
Natalie Bober's Thomas Jefferson is a gift to us allShe makes him present, alive, and accessible: a man of intellect, feeling, grief, purpose, and great imagination. - Ken Burns, documentary producer ""Natalie Bober has provided what is probably the most thorough and intellectually sophisticated narrative that any [young adult] book on the Revolution has ever attempted."" - Joseph J. Ellis, author of American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson ""Even readers raised on political cynicism will come away from this feeling stirred by this powerful, exciting story of their government's birth."" - Booklist *Starred* ""Bober has taken on an extremely vital, but difficult, task: writing a history that speaks to young people, black and white alike, in a way that is respectful to both cultures.... She hits all the relevant points that young readers should know about the third president, while adding new perspectives that are always nuanced. The detail is rich and her presentation is elegant."" - Annette Gordon-Reed, New York Law School, author of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy
