"Frock Coats and Epaulets
has enjoyed a long and useful life, thanks to its graceful style and
keen insights. Its new edition is welcome, particularly to
anyone interested in Robert E. Lee, a subject upon which Alf Mapp's
writing has been illuminating, even path-breaking...It was in Mapp's
Frock Coats and Epaulets that Americans first met
a more authentic Robert E. Lee." ___Paul C. Nagel, author of The Lees of
Virginia
"An engrossing biography that
pays full tribute to Jefferson's personal genius and political
achievements." _Kirkus
Associates, LP
"Mapp goes all the way back
to England's ninth century to draw this dramatic, freshly-viewed
history of the one English king who was called, and it seems
deservedly so, the 'great'...A sweeping portrait of the king as an
early type of the "Renaissance Man"...Alf Mapp faithfully reflects
Alfred's amazing versatility." _Publisher's
Weekly
"In this remarkable volume,
Alf Mapp successfully portrays the paradoxical aspects of Jefferson
including his liberalism and conservatism, reason and passion and
broad and strict constitutionalism. Thanks to extraordinary
literary craftsmanship, Mapp's portrait depicts Jefferson with
matchless realism and political understanding. It is a work of
enduring value." _Kenneth W. Thompson, author of Portraits of American
Presidents
"Thomas
Jefferson: A Strange Case Of Mistaken Identity" is
being released in November with the title "Thomas
Jefferson: America's Paradoxical
Patriot". "A monumental reassessment of
Jefferson's character and impact."—Booklist
