"Jefferson and His Time is a masterly achievement of scholarship, the finest biography of Jefferson we have or are likely to have, and a monumental triumph of the senior American historian."
New York Times Book Review
"This is going to be the Jefferson…it will endure as one of the imperishable monuments of biography-and take note that I don't say 'American biography,' I say biography period."
Gerald W. Johnson
