All understood as well that what was at stake was not a moment's political advantage, but the future course of the American experiment in democracy. In this epochal debate, no two figures loomed larger than Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Both men were visionaries, but their visions of what the United States should be were diametrically opposed. \u003ci\u003eJefferson and Hamilton\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of the fierce struggle-both public and, ultimately, bitterly personal-between these two titans. It ended only with the death of Hamilton in a pistol duel, felled by Aaron Burr, Jefferson's vice president. Their competing legacies, like the twin strands of DNA, continue to shape our country to this day. Their personalities, their passions, and their bold dreams for America leap from the page in this epic new work from one of our finest historians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Ferling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608195430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608195435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.40d","brand":"John Ferling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046576058623,"sku":"9781608195435","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acffa7cd-fac2-48b9-ade3-68fda2dd4284.jpg?v=1684985325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jefferson-and-hamilton-john-ferling-9781608195435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
