Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History

A seminal biography of Thomas Jefferson and a fascinating exploration of his relationship with Sally Hemings.
With a novelistâ€™s skill and a scholarâ€™s meticulous detail, Fawn M. Brodie portrays Thomas Jefferson as he wrestled with the great issues of his time: revolution, religion, power, race, and loveâ€•ambivalences that exerted a subtle but powerful influence on his political ideas and his presidency. Far advanced for its time, Brodieâ€™s biography was the first to set forth a convincing case that Thomas Jefferson was the father of children by his slave Sally Hemings. In a new introduction, Annette Gordon-Reed, the Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello, explores the impact of Brodieâ€™s groundbreaking book and explains why it is still such a powerful account of one of our greatest and most elusive presidents. 16 pages of illustrations
