Title: A Whirlwind Tour of the Early Republic
Review: Dr. McDonald's work here is nothing short of brilliant, but this is hardly surprising coming from one of the nation's foremost historians. The low reviews this book has been getting on Amazon are really a shame, because it's a work of art. McDonald provides a masterful account of the creation of the American republic, giving the reader not just the major events of the period, but also shedding some light on the reasoning behind those events. His focus on the regionalism of early American politics shows the volatile nature of the compact forged in Philadelphia, which would ultimately lead to the destruction and reforging of that compact some seventy years later under the Lincoln administration. His wit and insight make this a truly enjoyable read for anyone with an interest in the period, as do his careful renderings of some of the more prominent figures involved in the Founding. Highly recommended reading to any history buff, or indeed any American citizen.
