Best-selling author Coy Barefoot takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the life and letters of Thomas Jefferson in search of timeless principles of leadership. In Jefferson's view, leadership-personal, civic, and political- is the key ingredient to making a free society work. Barefoot demonstrates that there is much we can learn from Jefferson's successes as well as his failures. "Circumstances of history," Barefoot writes, "present every generation with new challenges that demand a reinvigorated commitment to the preservation of liberty and the cultivation of inspired individuals to lead the fight. Leadership is no academic exercise. Freedom is never a guarantee." This is a powerful and timely book that encourages each one of us to answer Thomas Jefferson's call to action: "Come forward then, and give us the aid of your talents and the weight of your character."

Packed with essential facts, this resource presents a remarkable overview of Washington's life. Written for the general reader, it covers his public career and private life in an interesting, entertaining, and readable Q&A format.
