Inventing a Nation: Washington, Adams, Jefferson

 
From the publishers:
A portrait of the formidable trio of George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. In “Inventing a Nation”, Vidal transports the reader into the minds, the living rooms (and bedrooms), the convention halls and the salons of Washington, Jefferson, Adams and others. We come to know these men, their opinions of each other, their worries about money and their concerns about creating a viable democracy.
