James Madison led one of the most influential and prolific
lives in American history, and his story—although all too
often overshadowed by his more celebrated contemporaries—is
integral to that of the nation. Madison helped to shape our
country as perhaps no other Founder: collaborating on the
Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights, resisting
government overreach by assembling one of the nation’s first
political parties (the Republicans, who became today’s
Democrats), and taking to the battlefield during the War of
1812, becoming the last president to lead troops in combat. In this penetrating biography, eminent historian Richard
Brookhiser presents a vivid portrait of the “Father of the
Constitution,” an accomplished yet humble statesman who
nourished Americans’ fledgling liberty and vigorously
defended the laws that have preserved it to this day.
