The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution

Written by David O. Stewart

Narrated by George Wilson

David O. Stewart presents this well-researched account of the U.S. Constitution's creation not as a dry analysis of events, but as a high-powered narrative filled with dramatic intensity and larger-than-life historical figures. "Briskly written, full of deft characterizations and drama ... a splendid rendering of the [Constitution's] creation." -Publishers Weekly, starred review
