The narrative of America's founding is filled with godlike geniuses--and then there was Aaron Burr. Generations have been told Burr was a betrayer--of Hamilton, of his country, of those with nobler ideas. All untrue: the politically aggressive Hamilton was preoccupied with Burr and subverted Burr's career at every turn for more than a decade. Historian Isenberg proves that Burr was no less a patriot and no less a principled thinker than those who debased him. He was an inspired politician who promoted decency when factionalism and ugly party politics were coalescing. He was as much an Enlightenment figure as Jefferson, and a feminist generations ahead of his time. A brilliant orator and lawyer, he was New York's attorney general, a senator, and vice president. His political assassination was accomplished by rivals who feared his power.--From publisher description. 000326923 60010 $$aBurr, Aaron,$$d1756-1836. 000326923 650_0 $$aStatesmen$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000326923 650_0 $$aVice-Presidents$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000326923 650_0 $$aSoldiers$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000326923 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yRevolution, 1775-1783$$vBiography. 000326923 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1783-1865. 000326923 85200 $$bgen$$hE302.6.B9$$iI84$$i2007 000326923 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip074/2006035698.html 000326923 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:326923$$pGLOBAL_SET 000326923 980__ $$aBIB 000326923 980__ $$aBOOK
