内容説明・目次
内容説明
This is the first book to focus on one of the most sensational treason trials in American history. The subject of several popular books, including Gore Vidal's bestselling novel, Aaron Burr remains one of the most compelling figures in United States history. Remembered as the man who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, Burr served as vice president, from 1800 to 1804, and before that, had gained a national reputation as a brilliant attorney. The first popular history to focus on one of the most intriguing chapters in Burr's life, this book explores his part in what is known as an alleged plan to invade Mexico and set up an independent republic there. Although he was ultimately acquitted of the charges against him, Burr was ruined professionally and financially. The author, a constitutional law expert, demystifies the legal issues involved in the case, and delves into the relationships lying at the heart of the conspiracy, chiefly between Burr and Thomas Jefferson. Buckner F. Melton Jr. (Burlington, NC) is a historian and Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
His 1998 book, "The First Impeachment", brought him to the forefront of the Clinton impeachment debate.
