Description: In the magnificent tradition of Gore Vidal's "Lincoln" and "Burr", Max Byrd dispels the mists of myth and history to reveal a Thomas Jefferson we've never met before: an enigmatic statesman who fights for individual liberty even as he keeps numerous slaves in bondage, who champions free will even as he denies it to his daughters, and who holds men to the highest standards of honor - even as he embarks on a shadowy, double-life of his own...It is 1784, and Jefferson, the newly appointed American ambassador to the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, has just arrived in Paris to represent his fledgling nation. It is a city adrift in intrigue, upheaval, and temptation, a city that will challenge Thomas Jefferson's principles, incite his passions, and change him forever. Max Byrd, author, and winner of the Shamus Award and a Book of the Month Club featured selection. Byrd spent five years on the research and writing of "Jefferson". He is also the author of "Jackson" and "Grant". He makes his home in Davis, CA. This is a very interesting and wonderful read. JM
