Chadwick, Bruce

Presents the interlocking stories of individual soldiers fighting in the American Revolution, describing the brutal conditions they faced, the terrifying moments of battle, and the disease that threatened soldiers who were wounded.

Using newly uncovered troves of letters at the University of Virginia, Chadwick has been able to reconstruct the details of the Madisons' personal and political lives. Dolley, through her many social skills, created the dynamic role of First Lady that we know today. Their letters show Madison not as a boring, average president--as some historians have maintained--but as a vibrant, tough leader, a very successful commander in chief who changed America. These documents also help to paint a searing portrait of the Madisons' struggles with their irresponsible son.
