Book Reviews of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy

Book Review: A joy to read, for its own sake.
Summary: 5 Stars

The material is fascinating, of course. But the quality of the writing, and the liveliness of the scholarship, are things of beauty in themselves. Best of all, the author has a common-sense, dry wit that left me laughing aloud. Exhilarating.
