{"product_id":"james-madison-the-american-presidents-series-1","title":"James Madison (The American Presidents Series)","description":"A bestselling historian examines the life of a Founding Father.\n\nRenowned historian and social commentator Garry Wills takes a fresh look at the life of James Madison, from his rise to prominence in the colonies through his role in the creation of the Articles of Confederation and the first Constitutional Congress.\n\nMadison oversaw the first foreign war under the constitution, and was forced to adjust some expectations he had formed while drafting that document. Not temperamentally suited to be a wartime President, Madison nonetheless confronted issues such as public morale, internal security, relations with Congress, and the independence of the military. Wills traces Madison's later life during which, like many recent Presidents, he enjoyed greater popularity than while in office.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0805069054\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0805069054.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wills, Garry|Schlesinger Jr., Arthur M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
