All this said, Bober does an excellent job of bringing Thomas Jefferson to life and articulating his accomplishments in a meaningful way. It's a shame that her work is decidedly unbalanced and therefore irresponsible from an historical point of view. (www.amazon.com....41-1504766)

Thank you for stating the misconception that once you get into Thomas Jefferson , you have it made [â Thomas Jefferson Falls Short on Scholarships ,â Extras, Jan. 17]. (loudounextra.washingtonpost.com....?education)
How, for example, does it change our understanding of American history to place Thomas Jefferson in his social context as a plantation owner who fathered white and black families both? What happens when we shift our focus from Jefferson and his white family to Sally Hemings and her children? How do we understand interracial sexual relationships in the early republic and in our own time? Can a renewed exploration of the contradiction between Jefferson's life as a slaveholder and his libertarian views yield a clearer understanding of the great political principles he articulated so eloquently and that Americans cherish? Are there moral or political lessons to be learned from the lives of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings and the way that historians and the public have attempted to explain their liaison (www.amazon.com....87-9946036)
Thomas Jefferson , so multifaceted and long-lived, tries the skills of most who venture to write his biography, especially a short one like this. But UCLA historian Appleby (Inheriting the Revolution : The First Generation of Americans) has succeeded in writing as good a brief study of this complex man as is imaginable. Another in a series on the American chief executives edited by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., her elegant book is a liberal's take on the complex, sphinxlike founder of American liberalism. Appleby convincingly argues that the third president's greatest legacies were limited government (breached, however, by the opportunism that characterized his own presidency) and the great expansion of democracy. If some of her criticisms of Jefferson seem more perfunctory than heartfelt, she fully explains the man's sorry record and tortured views on slavery and race. Providing along the way a short, up-to-date history of the early 19th-century nation, she also concisely surveys the day's great issues-voting, democracy, political parties, commerce, westering and religio (www.amazon.com....15-5042560)
Thomas Jefferson spent five years in Paris, from 1784 to 1789, serving as the representative of a struggling new nation. In this entertaining, scholarly chronicle of those years, we're treated to an account of how the nights spent among the Paris intellectuals influenced Jefferson's thought, and we get a vivid taste of the social whirl in that great European city. William Howard Adams, a leading Jefferson scholar for 25 years, quotes extensively from Jefferson's letters and other writings, and does a commendable job of describing the scenes in which Jefferson would have found himself. -This text refers to the Hardcover edition (www.amazon.com....41-1504766)
In the wake of the recent flood of books on Jefferson, Adams (International Ctr. for Jefferson Studies) presents no findings that will surprise specialists; rather, he offers a judicious, balanced overview based on thorough grounding in primary sources as well as the latest books on Jefferson. Adams is at his best in giving vivid thumbnail sketches of personalities like the Marquis de Lafayette and in his expert descriptions of Paris buildings and neighborhoods. In contrast to the astringent tone of some recent works, both those for and against Jefferson (e.g., Conor Cruise O'Brien's The Long Affair, LJ 10/15/96), Adams's touch is light. He clearly admires Jefferson while avoiding hagiography, demonstrating that Jefferson's five years in France (1784-89) helped to obliterate the last traces of provincialism in the Virginian and further implanted in him the ideals of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution . Highly recommended for all libraries.?Thomas J. Schaeper, St. Bonaventure Uni (www.amazon.com....41-1504766)
