Product info

Jefferson's White House is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of a controversial figure at a critical time in the new American nation's history. By focusing on the third president's ongoing efforts to transform an unfinished house into a home, James B. Conroy brings the place and the people who lived, worked, and visited there to fascinating life. His portrait of Jefferson as genial host, partisan politician, family man and friend, employer and slave-owner is sympathetic yet unsparing, making a complex character comprehensible to contemporary readers. An ambitious, enlightening, and brilliantly realized project.--Peter S. Onuf, Thomas Jefferson Professor of History, Emeritus, University of Virginia and co-author of "Most Blessed of the Patriarchs" Thomas Jefferson and the Empire of the Imagination
