"Illuminating. . . . Compelling. . . . Focuses on a series of key moments: most notably, Valley Forge, the standoff between the Federalists and their opponents, [and] the consequences [of] the Louisiana Purchase on slavery and the treatment of Indians." -Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "[Ellis] is a storyteller, and a superb one...no historian is better at making a complicated jumble of events clear and comprehensible." -The New York Review of Books "Illuminating....entertaining...Ellis has done us a great service." -The New York Times Book Review "Delightful....Ellis is the reigning master of the episodic approach to history." -The Boston Globe, "Illuminating . . . Compelling . . . It is Mr. Ellis's achievement that he once again leaves us with a keen appreciation of the good fortune America had in having the right men in the right places at the right times."--Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times "Ellis is a storyteller, and a superb one too. He employs the same narrative technique he developed most successfully inFounding Brothers. Throughout there is the same captivating colloquial style for which he is famous, and the same clarity of exposition." --Gordon S. Wood,New York Review of Books "Joseph J. Ellis'Founding Brotherswon the 2001 Pulitzer Prize in history.American Creationis at least its equal and perhaps its superior." --Richmond Times-Dispatch "Mr. Ellis humanizes the founding generation without tearing them down--a delicate operation in a politically charged time." --The New York Sun "He writes history as it should be: as a page-turner." --Library Journal "This subtle, brilliant examination puts Ellis among the finest of America's narrative historians." --Publishers Weekly "His books on early American history are national treasures." --Roger Bishop,Bookpage From the Hardcover edition., "Illuminating. . . .

Synopsis
National Bestseller Acclaimed historian Joseph J. Ellis brings his unparalleled talents to this riveting account of the early years of the Republic. The last quarter of the eighteenth century remains the most politically creative era in American history, when a dedicated group of men undertook a bold experiment in political ideals. It was a time of both triumphs and tragedies--all of which contributed to the shaping of our burgeoning nation. Ellis casts an incisive eye on the gradual pace of the American Revolution and the contributions of such luminaries as Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, and brilliantly analyzes the failures of the founders to adequately solve the problems of slavery and the treatment of Native Americans. With accessible prose and stunning eloquence, Ellis delineates in American Creation an era of flawed greatness, at a time when understanding our origins is more important than ever., National Bestseller Acclaimed historian Joseph J.
