Bernstein proposes that his narrative is balanced among the clashingopinions of professional historians; we in the grandstands, however, can cheerBernstein's offering as a capable, interpretive survey of Jefferson's long andverbose life....The author strongly emphasizes Jefferson's democrat ic idealsand his practical enactment of them in his political career. However crowded theTJ shelf, libraries should allow room for Bernstein's compact, competentcontribution. -- Gilbert Taylor, Booklist|9780195181302|, "An honest look at Jefferson's life, accomplishments, and inconsistencies. Bernstein does not gloss over his subject's flaws and the controversies that surrounded him.... Attractive and appealing." -- Jeffrey A. French, Euclid Public Library, School Library Journal, "The best short biography of Jefferson ever written...highly recommendedfor those who want a brief and historically reliable account of this incrediblycomplicated character.... Authoritative, judicious, clearly written andremarkably complete."--Gordon S. Wood, The New York Times Book Review, "It is difficult to be objective about Thomas Jefferson, but this book succeeds wonderfully. Neither attacking Jefferson for his sins nor lauding him for his accomplishments, Thomas Jefferson does equal justice to Jefferson's political, intellectual, and personal life in a concise biographythat can be enjoyed by all. Bernstein has given us an admirably balanced life in context."--Joanne B. Freeman, Professor of History, Yale University, "Bernstein has brought as much clarity to a famously elusive subject as anyone can, and he's done it all at concise, readable length."--Christian Science Monitor, "Veteran historian Bernstein pulls off a remarkable feat: he writes ofJefferson and his 'ambiguous legacies' with utter serenity, detachment andbalance. He takes no sides and offers no particular arguments about the man.Instead, in prose of the utmost directness and clarity, Bernstein simply laysout the great founder's life in all its complexities, achievements and, at theend, ruin.... Anyone wanting to brush up on Jefferson's life or gain exposure tothe latest findings about it will find this book of huge value. It will be mostvaluable to those seeking an introduction to Jefferson's life and achievements.There's little doubt that the book will become the standard brief one-volumebiography of someone who was 'the leading spokesman for the revolution of ideasthat changed...the face of America and the world.'"--Publishers Weekly (starredreview), "Veteran historian Bernstein pulls off a remarkable feat: he writes of Jefferson and his 'ambiguous legacies' with utter serenity, detachment and balance.

Synopsis
Thomas Jefferson designed his own tombstone, describing himself simply as "Author of the Declaration of Independence and of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia." It is in this simple epitaph that R.B. Bernstein finds the key to this enigmatic Founder--not as a great political figure, but as leader of "a revolution of ideas that would make the world over again." In Thomas Jefferson, Bernstein offers the definitive short biography of this revered American--the first concise life in six decades. Bernstein deftly synthesizes the massive scholarship on his subject into a swift, insightful, evenhanded account. Here are all of Jefferson's triumphs, contradictions, and failings, from his luxurious (and debt-burdened) life as a Virginia gentleman to his passionate belief in democracy, from his tortured defense of slavery to his relationship with Sally Hemings. Jefferson was indeed multifaceted--an architect, inventor, writer, diplomat, propagandist planter, party leader--and Bernstein explores all these roles even as he illuminates Jefferson's central place in the American enlightenment, that "revolution of ideas" that did so much to create the nation we know today. Together with the less well-remembered points in Jefferson's thinking--the nature of the Union, his vision of who was entitled to citizenship, his dread of debt (both personal and national)--they form the heart of this lively biography. In this marvel of compression and comprehension, we see Jefferson more clearly than in the massive studies of earlier generations. More important, we see, in Jefferson's visionary ideas, the birth of the nation's grand sense ofpurpose., Thomas Jefferson designed his own tombstone, describing himself simply as "Author of the Declaration of Independence and of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia."

In Thomas Jefferson , Bernstein offers the definitive short biography of this revered American--the first concise life in six decades. Bernstein deftly synthesizes the massive scholarship on his subject into a swift, insightful, evenhanded account. Here are all of Jefferson's triumphs, contradictions, and failings, from his luxurious (and debt-burdened) life as a Virginia gentleman to his passionate belief in democracy, from his tortured defense of slavery to his relationship with Sally Hemings.

In this marvel of compression and comprehension, we see Jefferson more clearly than in the massive studies of earlier generations. More important, we see, in Jefferson's visionary ideas, the birth of the nation's grand sense of purpose., This book explores the life of Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826): first Secretary of State, second Vice President, fifth President of the United States, and a renaissance man of early America. Perhaps best known as the author of the Declaration of Independence, he also drafted the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom and wrote Notes on the State of Virginia (1787); as President, he approved the Louisiana Purchase and organized the Lewis and Clark Expedition. he led the effort to organize the University of Virginia, and served as its first rector. But these are merely the highlights of his life. Long hailed as a visionary shaper of American history, Jefferson was a man of his time and place. This biography sets him in context, as a member of the Virginia gentry, an able and skilled lawyer, a talented politician who nonetheless shunned the political spotlight, and the finest writer of his era.
