The Framers' Coup - Klarman, Michael J. (Kirkland & Ellis Professor of Law, Kirkland & Ellis Professor of Law, Harvard University)

Based on prodigious research and told largely through the voices of the participants, Michael Klarman's The Framers' Coup narrates how the Framers' clashing interests shaped the Constitution--and American history itself.
