The Last Founding Father Reviews

Dead Presidents website, 10/19/10 What stands out most about Unger's book is the clarity and ease of the author's writing...I read a lot of books about Presidents that I already know a lot about, but this book taught me more about a single President than I have learned in years...James Monroe deserves his place amongst the giants of our Founding, and Harlow Giles Unger has forever ensured it. WhatWouldtheFoundersThink.com, 1/27/11This book is so full of interesting connections and characters that it is impossible to do it justice in the space of a review...This book is a pleasure to read and the wonderful use of illustrations augments it. Journal of Southern History, May 2011 Unger shows how the public and private commitments of early American diplomats were sometimes intertwined. The Waterline, 10/6/11Unger writes an excellent biography, and dissects the major events that would shape our young nation...A fine read.
