Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon Meacham is a biography that really taps in to Thomas Jefferson as a person. It highlights his insecurities and relationships and shines a light on Thomas Jefferson as a scholar who is discussed by politics and yet can pull himself away from the rights he feels the new America deserves. Although several of us didn't get to the end it is highly recommended. If you feel like testing out the biographical waters, this is a good one to try. Don't let the size fool you. Jon Meacham takes his research and citations seriously and a quarter of what you see is a collection of that.
I'm pretty sure I was out of town for this book cub dinner but I'm sure it was tasty!
