Thomas Jefferson

Hitchens balances admiration with critique, but I wonder how he navigated Jefferson's personal flaws versus his monumental achievements. Did anyone else feel this made the biography more layered?

I thought I knew most of the major facts, but Hitchens' perspective shed light on aspects I hadn't considered. Were there details that surprised others here?

The way Hitchens weaves personal, political, and historical threads made me think about how his actions shaped America. Did this approach deepen or complicate your view of his impact?
