Review title: Well worth reading despite author's credibility issues
Product review: I am not a fan of TJ, but I found this book to be very balanced--a "warts and all" type of biography. This book is not a biography in the strict sense, in that it does not attempt to cover every aspect of TJ's life. Instead Ellis uses several episodes in TJ's career to illustrate the many inconsistencies and hypocriscies that characterize this founder's life. Since the book was written pre-DNA, the treatment of Sally Hemmings is somewhat dated now, but I still found this to be an excellent read and an interpretive bonanza.
