In this fascinating history of the origins of the Bill of Rights, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Leonard W.

Levy illuminates the behind-the-scenes manoeuvrings, public rhetoric, and political motivations of James Madison and others who overcame fierce opposition to ensure the ratification of these crucial liberties.
