Thomas Jefferson, the Apostle of AmericanismGood Press, 13. 12. 2019 - Počet stran: 1197 This is an informational work on Thomas Jefferson, an American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. This book comprehensively reviews Thomas Jefferson's education and subsequent political thought. It's not just a biography of Thomas Jefferson but rather an examination of the evolution of his political thought. His views on truth, politics, religion, morality, and the relationships between European entanglements and business are interesting. Moreover, the author intertwines the biography with many quotes from the tremendous volume of letters and journals Jefferson maintained throughout his lifetime. |
