I enjoyed this dual biography, even though I'm not at all a "history buff". It is quite a long book, but almost always interesting and well written, and I learned quite a bit about our forefathers. The book is entitled "Madison and Jefferson" specifically because it is an attempt to restore Madison to his rightful place in history. Although the more outgoing Jefferson is far better known to most people, the authors feel that the more low-key Madison was equally as influential to our history. The book tells the story of the political relationship, as well as the friendship between our 3rd and 4th Presidents. It does a good job of delving into their different personalities, and showing the men behind the people we now see as almost deities. You learn that these men who did so much toward establishing the country we live in (with The Constitution, the Federalist Papers, etc.), were also very human, with frailties, weaknesses, greed and thirst for power. It does much of the same for George Washington, and other early founders of these United States. I was afraid that I would find this a boring history book, but I didn't. The book merges history with biography nicely, and while I did learn quite a bit, it was engrossing as well. I learned how important the State of Virginia (where both men were from), was to these men, as well as to the decisions that were made by these early Politicians. I found it interesting, and somewhat reassuring that the game of Politics really hasn't changed as much as most of us think it has, and that these men that we admire so much were still Politicians as much as they were human beings. I would recommend this book to anyone - whether you are a history novice like I am, or a history buff - there is a LOT of information in this book, and it is presented in a style of writing that can be enjoyed by anyone.
