JAMES MADISON AND THE STRUGGLE
FOR THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Written by Richard Labunski
From the book jacket description: "In these pages Richard Labunski offers a dramatic account of how an unlikely hero--the shy, soft-spoken, and scholarly James Madison--almost single-handedly brought the Bill of Rights to life against daunting odds, forever shaping, and perhaps even saving, the United States. Rich with details of political life in early America, this compelling and colorful narrative returns an under-appreciated patriot to his rightful place among the Founding Fathers and sheds new light on a key turning point in our nation's history." Hard cover, 336 pages, published by Oxford University Press (2006) as part of their "Pivotal Moments in American History" series.
