The third volume in Dumas Malone's distinguished, Pulitzer Prize–winning study of Thomas Jefferson and his time deals with one of the most fascinating and controversial periods of Jefferson's life. It includes the story of the final and most crucial phase of his secretaryship of state; his retirement to Monticello; his assumption of the leadership of the opposition party; and the crisis during the half-war with France, when the existence of political oppression was threatened and the freedom of individuals imperiled. Also covered is Jefferson'sown election to the presidency in 1801.

"This is the third volume in Dumas Malone's monumental multi-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson and His Time." — Eddy (5 out of 5 stars)
"This is the third volume in Dumas Malone's monumental multi-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson and His Time."
“Jefferson and His Time is a masterly achievement of scholarship, the finest biography of Jefferson we have or are likely to have, and a monumental triumph of the senior American historian.”
“Maintains the mature scholarship established by the earlier volumes. Academic in the best sense, it not only displays an intimate familiarity with the vast literature but contains an acute evaluation of Jefferson’s ideas and ideals.”
“‘Perfect’ best describes Anna Fields’ reading of a very detailed account of Thomas Jefferson’s first 41 years.”
" Thomas Jefferson: the driest forefather ever! The whole of this voluminous biography should be read by all Americans. "
