520 1 $a"The narrative of America's founding is filled with godlike geniuses - Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson - versus the villainous Aaron Burr. Generations have been told that Burr was a betrayer - of Alexander Hamilton, of his country, of those who had nobler ideas. But that version has been shaped by historians and writers from the eighteenth century on, who were blinded by tabloid reports and propaganda created by Burr's political enemies during his lifetime. It is time to discover the real Aaron Burr." "The man whom we meet through Nancy Isenberg's painstakingly researched biography is less a patriot and principled thinker than those who debased him. He was an inspired politician, statesman, and legislator who promoted decency instead of the factionalism that threatened the solidity of the young nation. He was a brilliant orator and lawyer who served as New York's attorney general and senator, before his election as vice president. Alexander Hamilton and Burr's other political rivals successfully denounced Burr as a man of extreme tastes, but the facts show him to be a man of moderation and open-mindedness generations ahead of his time."--BOOK JACKET.
