Currently host of Fox News Watch, broadcast journalist Burns is a former NBC News correspondent and Today Show pundit, and winner of an Emmy Award for media criticism. He offers a new perspective on the Founding Fathers which considers several human aspects of this extraordinary group of individuals, including their attitudes toward ambition, vanity, modesty, jealousy, image, and embellishment of the truth. Illustrated with 13 b&w portrait reproductions, this academic text is accessible to the general reader interested in American history. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
