The Three Lives Of James Madison by Noah Feldman
Genius, Partisan, President
A sweeping portrait of James Madison that follows his evolution from revolutionary political thinker and architect of the Constitution, to inventive party strategist in the fierce battles of the 1790s, to wartime president navigating the crises of 1812. It illuminates his shifting views on federal power and executive authority, his alliance and rivalry with contemporaries like Hamilton and Jefferson, and his enduring struggle to reconcile republican ideals with the realities of partisanship, governance, and slavery.
