About this ebook
"Cerami spins a good historical tale." --Kirkus Reviews
Seven years after the revolution, America was in crisis. The government didn't work, but the citizens didn't care--or were in a state of rebellion. Then two unknown men, Hamilton and Madison (unknown especially compared to the revered Founding Fathers), envisioned a plan that no one else thought could happen: a truly United States.
Against all odds, these men maneuvered and strategized to get the right men to agree on the right ideas. The result: the most brilliant political document ever, and a powerful United States.
From New York Times bestselling author Charles Cerami, this gripping tale of young men founding a nation will captivate both history buffs and those who just love a great story.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really brings to life original intent. The Framers foresaw a living document that allowed for progress and social change. The originalists of today ironically ignore the Framers' intent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fine, lively account of the Constitutional Convention. A popular rather than scholarly history, Cerami makes the case the Constitution was primarily the result of dynamic young thinkers as opposed to the thoughtful greybeards. The point is well made; while patriarchs such as Franklin and Washington supported the ideas embodied in theConstitution, it was younger men who put the ideas together and were a driving force behind the Convention. The lives of the participants are examined, particularly those of Madison and Hamilton. A nice book for a casual reading of the origin of this critical document.
