Thomas Jefferson by Randall, Willard Sterne
This readable biography traces the subject’s rise from Virginia planter and Enlightenment thinker to influential statesman, diplomat, and two-term president, weaving together his public achievements—advocacy for republican government, religious liberty, scientific curiosity, and the Louisiana Purchase—with a candid examination of his personal contradictions, especially his lifelong slaveholding and complex private life, and evaluates how those tensions shaped his decisions and lasting legacy in the early American republic.
