| Inhalt: |
| Serpent in the Garden brings to life a surprisingly neglected aspect of the United States' early history: the repeated attempts by European spies and diplomats to bend the new republic to their will. Blending the story of James Madison, the book's central figure, with a host of colorful characters, Tyson Reeder shows how foreign intrigue brought the union to the brink of collapse, culminating during the War of 1812 in the capture of the nation's capital and the burning of the White House by British soldiers. This is a book whose lessons are as relevant today as they were two hundred years ago. |
