It explores selected interactions among a group of individuals both gifted and flawed; interactions that profoundly influenced the early development of the United States. OverviewEllis constructed his book by assessing certain events during the decade following the 1787 Constitutional Convention, He chooses to do this not in any systematic or comprehensive manner, but by focusing on a half-dozen political personages (John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr) and a handful of revealing episodes that would test their convictions and friendships.[1] He notes that Ellis borrowed his technique from Lytton Strachey's classic study, Eminent Victorians, about notable English figures.

ReviewsJoyce Appleby of the Washington Post Book World commented that, "In lesser hands the fractious disputes and hysterical rhetoric of these contentious nation-builders might come across as hyperbolic pettiness. Ellis knows better, and he unpacks the real issues for his readers, revealing the driving assumptions and riveting fears that animated Americans' first encounter with the organized ideologies and interests we call parties." [3] MovieIn 2002, The History Channel produced a three-and-a-half hour documentary covering the various topics of the book.[4] In 2011 Ellis co-authored a screen statement with a former student, Daliah Leslie in an effort to make a feature film adaptation. The treatment was based on one chapter of the award winning book entitled “The Duel.” Notes1. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/14/arts/14KAKU.html Michiko Kakutani, "In the Course of Human Events, Lady Luck Had a Role"], New York Times, 14 November 2000, accessed 16 February 2012 2. ^{{cite news | first=| last=| url=http://www.pulitzer.org/year/2001/history| title=2001 Pulitzer Prize Winners| publisher=pulitzer.org | year=2001 | accessdate=2006-08-04}} 3. ^{{cite news | first=Joyce| last=Appleby | url=http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-0375405445-3| title= Founding Brothers (Washington Post book review)| publisher=powells.com| date=| accessdate=2006-08-04}} 4. ^http://shop.history.com/detail.php?p=68187&v=All External links
