About this book

The Sacred Fire of Liberty: James Madison and the Founding of the Federal Republic by Banning, Lance. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780801431524.

Banning (history, U. of Kentucky) argues that Madison was not an intellectual "pragmatist" who reacted variably to the changing circumstances of the Revolution and the Confederation. Rather, Madison held to consistent principles and was at once a more committed democrat and a less eager nationalist than usually has been thought. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
