Enriched Edition. Political Memoir of the Early Republic, from Revolution and Rivalry to the Vice Presidency and Public DisgraceBy Aaron Burr
Length30h 58m
About this audiobook
Memoirs of Aaron Burr, Complete presents a revealing assemblage of personal recollection, political narrative, and correspondence surrounding one of the early republic's most controversial figures. Written in the idiom of nineteenth-century biographical memoir, the work blends documentary evidence with dramatic anecdote, moving from Revolutionary War service to partisan intrigue, the vice presidency, the Hamilton duel, and Burr's later western schemes. Its literary context is the age of republican self-vindication, when memoirs served both as historical record and as arguments before posterity. Aaron Burr, soldier, lawyer, senator, and third vice president of the United States, lived at the center of the nation's formative conflicts. His brilliance, ambition, and secrecy made him admired and distrusted in equal measure. The experiences that shaped this volume—military distinction, legal eminence, political rivalry, public disgrace, and exile—gave Burr an unusually charged motive to preserve, explain, and complicate the record of his life. This book is recommended to readers of American political history, biography, and early national literature. It rewards those interested not only in Burr himself, but in the unstable moral and political world that produced him.
