Download Virtue, Valor, and Vanity: The Inside Story of the Founding Fathers and the Price of a More Perfect Union AudioBook Free
Their ambitions, intrigues, and jealousies designed the beginning of our land, but they overcame their foibles and imperfections to put off the chains of tyranny and form a more perfect union. We think of them now as encounters on money or statues on pedestals, and, as Melts away shows here in luminous prose, thats just what they wanted to be. Each of them possessed amazing brilliance, expansive egos, and even more than simply a little vanity. In such a fresh perspective, Melts away brings the Founding Fathers down off their pedestals to disclose the flesh-and-blood men - vain and moderate, sensitive and stubborn, great and ambitious - who overcame their faults and squabbles to determine a new land that would stand out as a paragon of governance. For the armchair historian, here is a thrilling new look at our countrys origins.
