\"James<\/a>James Madison: A Life Reconsidered<\/h3>\n

by Lynne Cheney \u201963<\/b><\/p>\n

This biography studies a man of vaunted modesty who changed the world. Outwardly reserved, Madison was the intellectual driving force behind the Constitution and crucial to its ratification. His political philosophy and rationale for the union of states \u2014 so eloquently presented in The Federalist Papers \u2014 helped shape the nation Americans live in today. Along with Thomas Jefferson, Madison would found the first political party in the country\u2019s history. As Jefferson\u2019s secretary of state, he managed the Louisiana Purchase. As president, he led the country in its first war under the Constitution, the War of 1812. Without precedent to guide him, he would demonstrate that a republic could defend its honor and independence \u2014 and still remain a republic. Cheney discussed the book at CC in April.<\/p>\n
