Young Patriots: The Remarkable Story of Two Men, Their Impossible Plan and the Revolution That Created the Constitution

Product Description

The captivating story of Hamilton and Madison fighting the odds to forge a nation’s legacy
Seven years after the revolution, America was in crisis. The government didn’t work, but the citizens didn’t care―or were in a state of rebellion. Then two unknown men, Hamilton and Madison (unknown especially compared to the revered Founding Fathers), envisioned a plan that no one else thought could happen: a truly United States.
Against all odds, these men maneuvered and strategized to get the right men to agree on the right ideas. The result: the most brilliant political document ever, and a powerful United States.
From New York Times bestselling author Charles Cerami, this gripping tale of young men founding a nation will captivate both history buffs and those who just love a great story.
“Cerami spins a good historical tale.” ―Kirkus Reviews
