""Madison's personality comes alive in these pages, his strengths and weaknesses of mind and character clearly outlined. His great services in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 are graphically portrayed. The analysis of his political theory, and of the way in which he sought to apply it to the establishment of of government under the Constitution, is excellent. The depiction of Jeffersonian and Madisonian foreign policy up to the outbreak of the War of 1812 is clear and succinct.

Synopsis
The best one volume biography of Madison?s life, Ketcham?s biography not only traces Madison?s career, it gives readers a sense of the man.

It also captures a side of Madison that is less rarely on display (including a portrait of the beautiful Dolley Madison)., The best one volume biography of Madison's life, Ketcham's biography not only traces Madison's career, it gives readers a sense of the man.
