In an engagingly formulated work of synthesis, Broadwater offers a compelling view of the essential Madison. . . . [His] clear writing style and contextual explanations make this work especially appealing to incipient scholars and general readers.--Library Journal Readers who want an introduction to [Madison's] political thought and practice over his whole career will find these volumes considerably valuable.--Journal of American History [Broadwater's] biography is very solid and scholarly. . . the best medium-sized life of Madison that we have.--Gordon S. Wood, The New York Review of Books Thorough, judicious, and insightful. . . . [Broadwater] leads us to appreciate the perceptiveness of the French diplomat Louis Otto's observation that Madison is 'a man one must study for a long time in order to make a fair appraisal of him'.--The Review of Politics There are few one-volume works which stand in the pantheon of James Madison biographies. . . . [Broadwater's] is a welcome new addition to that list.--Register of the Kentucky Historical Society Broadwater has produced an eminently readable synthesis that is well suited for classroom use as well as for those looking for an insightful introduction to James Madison's thought and public career. . . .

As good an account of James Madison as there is likely to be.--Claremont Review of Books
Reseña del editor:
James Madison is remembered primarily as a systematic political theorist, but this bookish and unassuming man was also a practical politician who strove for balance in an age of revolution. In this biography, Jeff Broadwater focuses on Madison's role in the battle for religious freedom in Virginia, his contributions to the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, his place in the evolution of the party system, his relationship with Dolley Madison, his performance as a wartime commander in chief, and his views on slavery. From Broadwater's perspective, no single figure can tell us more about the origins of the American republic than our fourth president. In these pages, Madison emerges as a remarkably resilient politician, an unlikely wartime leader who survived repeated setbacks in the War of 1812 with his popularity intact. Yet Broadwater shows that despite his keen intelligence, the more Madison thought about one issue, race, the more muddled his thinking became, and his conviction that white prejudices were intractable prevented him from fully grappling with the dilemma of American slavery.
