The Last Founding Father: James Monroe and a Nation's Call to Greatness, Paperback

In this compelling biography, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger reveals the epic story of James Monroe (1758-1831)--the last of America's Founding Fathers--who transformed a small, fragile nation beset by enemies into a powerful empire stretching "from sea to shining sea." Like David McCullough's John Adams and Jon Meacham's American Lion, The Last Founding Father is both a superb read and stellar scholarship--action-filled history in the grand tradition.
