Thomas Jefferson: Westward the Course of Empire (Biographies in American Foreign Policy)

Rating:
Summary: Nice little book on TJ's foreign policy views(pro Jefferson)
Review: Kaplan clearly likes Jefferson. His recounting of Jefferson's foreign policy tend to give Jefferson the benefit of the doubt. This book is very informational and fairly short at around 200 pages. I harbor many Jeffersonian ideological thoughts, however, I'd have preferred Kaplan to be a bit more critical of some of Jefferson's actions. Even so, the book still stands out as a good survey of Jefferson's foreign policy. 3 stars for a good book- but not exceptional.
