Su questo libro

Product Description:

You are there, in 1787, at America's constitutional convention, with an 'inside story' that reads like a modern-day confidential account of the secret proceedings in Philadelphia. Veteran print and broadcast reporter St John reports each day's proceedings, flavouring his dispatches with quotes drawn from the correspondence and notes of the delegates. He captures the frustration, conflict, hope and despair of America's Founders during the long, sweltering summer session as the political future of the United States hangs in the balance. Appearing daily in major newspapers and broadcast around the world during the bicentennial summer of 1987 by the United States Information Agency, this is a popular narrative history ideal for students and general readers of American history.
