Críticas:

"Tom Fleming is a rare combination - a fine historian and a fine writer. His assessment of George Washington's relationships with Sally Fairfax and Martha Custis is right on target."--Peter R. Henriques, author of REALISTIC VISIONARY: A PORTRAIT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON

"With his ample gifts as a novelist and his brilliant historical reach, the esteemed Thomas Fleming never disappoints...A remarkable achievement-- and hard to put down."--Brenda Wineapple, author of WHITE HEAT: THE FRIENDSHIP OF EMILY DICKINSON AND THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON

This is better than any history book you've ever read.--Curled Up with a Good Book

"Thomas Fleming is one of our most interesting scholars of the Revolutionary period, and in his insightful latest work he does not disappoint. Focusing on the wives and women of the founding fathers, Intimate Lives is thoroughly fresh, frequently fun, at times touching, and always fascinating. A significant achievement."--Jay Winik, author of The Great Upheaval and April 1865

Reseña del editor:

The author of Perils of Peace takes a fresh look at the critical role of women in the lives of the founding fathers, exploring both the inspiration and scandal that came from the relationships of Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton and Madison with their mothers, wives and mistresses. 20,000 first printing.
