America's Second Revolution: How George Washington Defeated Patrick Henry and Saved the Nation
As I continue to read as many books as possible about the creation of America, I do find it somewhat repetitious and it does factor in to how I grade the books which is unfair for the authors yet a forewarning to readers.
Prior to reading this book, I read The Quartet by Joseph Ellis as well as a few other books that covered the time period of the Constitutional Convention.
This book was good and as a stand-alone read, I would rate this book excellent as I am a big fan of Unger and the way he writes about history. My problem as I wrote was the repetitive descriptions of how the founders argued over the details of the re-drafting (or as George Washington insisted, the dismantling and starting anew) the Constitution.
If I had to choose between the Ellis or Unger's books on this subject...I would say simply take your pick as both books were very well written.
