A sweeping reexamination of the Founding Father who transformed the United States in each of his political “lives”—as a revolutionary thinker, partisan political strategist, and president“In order to understand America and its Constitution, it is necessary to understand James Madison.”—Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci Over the course of his life, James Madison changed the United States three times: First, he designed the Constitution, led the struggle for its adoption and ratification, then drafted the Bill of Rights. As an older, cannier politician he co-founded the original Republican party, setting the course of American political partisanship. Finally, having pioneered a foreign policy based on economic sanctions, he took the United States into a high-risk conflict, becoming the first wartime president and, despite the odds, winning.Now Noah Feldman offers an intriguing portrait of this elusive genius and the constitutional republic he created—and how both evolved to meet unforeseen challenges. Madison hoped to eradicate partisanship yet found himself giving voice to, and institutionalizing, the political divide. Madison’s lifelong loyalty to Thomas Jefferson led to an irrevocable break with George Washington, hero of the American Revolution. Madison closely collaborated with Alexander Hamilton on the Federalist papers—yet their different visions for the United States left them enemies. Alliances defined Madison, too. The vivacious Dolley Madison used her social and political talents to win her husband new supporters in Washington—and define the diplomatic customs of the capital’s society. Madison’s relationship with James Monroe, a mixture of friendship and rivalry, shaped his presidency and the outcome of the War of 1812. We may be more familiar with other Founding Fathers, but the United States today is in many ways Madisonian in nature. Madison predicted that foreign threats would justify the curtailment of civil liberties. He feared economic inequality and the power of financial markets over politics, believing that government by the people demanded resistance to wealth. Madison was the first Founding Father to recognize the importance of public opinion, and the first to understand that the media could function as a safeguard to liberty. The Three Lives of James Madison is an illuminating biography of the man whose creativity and tenacity gave us America’s distinctive form of government. His collaborations, struggles, and contradictions define the United States to this day.

This book is an outstanding contribution to Madison scholarship. I'm a Madison fan and read every book that comes out on him. I'm interested in him because he seems to me the most scholarly of presidents and politicians. His approach to politics was to deal with political issues by reading and researching in depth on them and developing a position. He believed that the government of a republic was to be guided by reason, and the role of citizens was to reason to the best solution to political issues. One comment on his behavior when he was in Congress was "he was the best prepared on both sides of every issue." This book is a thoroughly researched presentation on Madison's role in developing the Constitution, the Democrat-Republican party, and his presidency. (The cover calls these three periods "Genius, Partisan, President," while the table of contents calls them "Constitution, Party, War.") This book is not a biography. It does not cover Madison's life outside of these three periods. But it provides the best and most well researched analysis of these periods of Madison's life. It's a feast and a must for Madison devotees, but could be a challenge for general readers, as the level of detail, references, and length of the book do not make it a quick read. The author makes a thorough analysis of Madison's positions and reasoning processes, offering fair criticism when he sees inconsistencies. I could find only one error in this voluminous text. On page 140, 2nd paragraph, he says: "The next day, June 29, 1787...". The reference is to a speech Madison had given on June 19, 1787, arguing against the New Jersey plan. The Constitutional Convention met on eight intervening days between June 19 and June 29. So to say that June 29 was the next day is not accurate. This may be an editing error in which some of the author's text was cut. In any event, is does not detract from the overall achievement of this masterful book. In this time of high political partisanship we can learn much from James Madison. Yes, he had political enemies, like Patrick Henry. But his disagreements were based on thoroughly reasoned positions. Today political opinions often seem to amount to political sloganeering with little attempt to research the facts. The politics, and especially, the thought processes of Madison can guide us to emphasizing reason and logic in contemporary politics. This book is an outstanding guide to thoroughly understanding Madison's thinking.
