The writer of this thought-provoking tome spent 10 years collectingmaterial available on the work of the Federal Convention that framed the Constitution of the United States. He brings an in-depth knowledge of the proceedings of the convention, a familiarity with the thought and expressions of the individual members, and an acquaintance with the personalities of the more important delegates. Putting this all together, he has developed a unique picture of what the delegates were trying to do and what they actually accomplished.
