The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution Audiobook

" An outstanding account of the writing of the constitution during 3 months at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Stewart gives an almost daily account of the events, the arguments, and personalities involved. I would highly recommend this book. It is not a fast read, however. I listened to an audiobook which was great. "

" Great Book for anyone one interested in the little things that went on behind the closed doors of Independence hall in Philly while producing one of the world's greatest documents. "

" Learn the personalities, context, and debates that formed our constitution. Much of this book is taken from Madison's notes along with a lot of other very thorough research. This is a very comprehensive and incredibly enlightening book on our founding fathers and our founding document. "

" A very informative and an eye-opening account of the proceedings introducing me to characters from history that were only peripherally or unknown to me. "

" Helped me get a better appreciation for the Constitution and the Framers. "

" Finally stopped reading this book....It just did not flow for me. Didn't care for it at all. "
