Rivals Unto Death

They were the best of enemies, two stalwart men of the national stage whose differences--personal and political--seemed to capture larger conflicts churning within our young republic. In this fascinating dual biography, Rick Beyer brings these two towering figures to vivid life on the page.

As the pages keep turning, we feel ourselves pulled along a collision course--one that still has powerful resonance today. - Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Blood and Thunder and In the Kingdom of ice
