Winner, Otto L. Walter Distinguished Faculty Writing Prize of the New York Law School
Honorable Mention, Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award
"An honest look at Jefferson's life, accomplishments, and inconsistencies. Bernstein does not gloss over his subject's flaws and the controversies that surrounded him.... Attractive and appealing." --Jeffrey A. French, Euclid Public Library, School Library Journal
