Manifest Ambition: James K. Polk and Civil-Military Relations during the Mexican War
This is a fictional book based on the letters/notes/and ledgers kept by the Jefferson's. It's a large book, and you feel like you will get board by the tenth chapter...but you don't. It's written in a way that gets you to keep reading until it's done. It is a great historical read, accurate..and a very emotional/sad ending.
