The advent of the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution in 1987 calls for a new treatment of the Philadelphia Con vention, one which is written for the general public and informed by recent scholarship. Decision in Philadelphia is just such a book. It is the best popular history of the Constitutional Conven tion available. This clear and well-writ ten volume traces the major issues in volved, dismissing sectional, economic, or class interests as domi nant factors and concentrating instead on the "deeply rooted attitudes" and "emotions" of individual members. Modern readers will find the authors' comments on the Constitution particu larly interesting, casting many of the Founding Fathers in a new light. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries. Roy H. Tryon, Delaware State Archives, Dover
Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. After seeing the musical 1776, I was entertainingly educated about the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. I saw much humor in our Founding Fathers' quirks, and was intrigued by their relationships to one another. I picked up DECISION IN PHILADELPHIA and was captivated once again, this time by the 55 men who came together to write the document that helped shaped our newly independent nation. The battles that were waged and the compromises that were made during the Constitutional Convention are captivatingly retold in this robust book, which also contains a complete copy of the Constitution.
