Harlow Giles Unger (Author)
From the New York Times bestselling author, the larger than life story of America’s fifth president, who transformed a small, fragile nation into a powerful empire
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.
