80 plus years of life in a short story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Real Thomas Jefferson: The True Story of America's Philosopher of Freedom (Paperback)
A very well written, factuol book. But squeezes years of life into 4-5 large print pages. Not a book to be read if your looking for details about his life or service to the country. No need to have a 325 page glossary, should have been more information about TJ.

This review is from: The Real Thomas Jefferson: The True Story of America's Philosopher of Freedom (Paperback)
Andrew Allison'a "The Real Thomas Jefferson" is truly a treasure.Starting out with a really informative and well written short biography, and then going into an alphabetical section of Jefferson's views according to his actual quotes really makes this book shine. Jefferson is shown in his true glory as a champion of the common man, and a defender of liberty and freedom. It is also an excellent biography of his sterling character refuting the lies and propaganda about the alleged Hemings affair. A revolutionary, politician, architect, scientist this was Jefferson, an "American Da Vinci" so to speak. Particularly informative is the section showing his lifelong support for public education, and religious freedom. A great buy.

THE BEST BIOGRAPHY I'VE SEEN ABOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON---,

This review is from: The Real Thomas Jefferson: The True Story of America's Philosopher of Freedom (Paperback)
---In ONE volume!!What is so good is that Andrew Allison completely documents his history so that you get a really clear view of Thomas Jefferson. I also appreciate the fact that the author doesn't pander to the sleaze that so many authors resort to in order to make a few extra sales. In fact he shows why the recent smear tactics on Jefferson are fraudulent. THREE CHEERS FOR ANDREW ALLISON FOR HIS COURAGE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT JEFFERSON!!! The last 330 pages of text contain quotations from Thomas Jefferson himself on many different subjects. Each of these quotations is placed alphabetically according to the subject that it deals with. This way a reader can use this book as a reference to look up what Thomas Jefferson believed on any particular issue. This last section of the book was prepared by Cleon Skousen, Richard Maxfield and Delynn Cook, and is, by itself, worth the price of the book. --George Stancliffe
