History of the United States of America During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson (The Library of America)

A political history of Thomas Jefferson's presidency. In a sense, the title is misleading. It should read "History of the United States and Europe during the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson," as a good portion of Adams' narrative is devoted to events in Europe that had a direct impact on the U.S. It is over 1200 pages long and has some of the the most minute details of political and international history to grace such a large narrative.
