Great.

This book helps give the reader an excellent prespective on how the Federalists and Anti-Federalists helped shape our nation though debate and press. I enjoyed this book because it is more of a collection of letters, from both Jefferson and Hamilton, leaving it up to you on how to interpret their stances and personalities.

this is a good book for a beginning hist class

This book really gives the reader a sense of what Hamilton and Jefferson were REALLY like. They had disputes and were mistrustful of eachother. There wasn't any school-boy stuff going on here. I recommend this book if you're interested in history and are in college. Good book!
