About This Item
Quote from back cover:
"This is a hair-raising book. It shows how, at stage after stage, the fight to draft and ratify the Constitution, to draft and pass the Bill of Rights, could have failed. It proves again that the tiny Madison was a giant." - Garry Wills
"Today we hold the Constitution in such high regard that we can hardly imagine how hotly contested was its adoption. Now Richard Labunski offers a dramatic account of a time when the entire American experiment hung in the balance, only to be saved by the most unlikely of heroes - the diminutive and exceedingly shy James Madison."
Very Good condition. Some rubbing and bumping to covers. Page 257/258 has a top corner crease. Very minimal edge/corner wear. Spine not creased. Clean and tight.
