The Last Founding Father: How James Monroe Built an Empire from Ashes
The Last Founding Father: James Monroe and a Nation's Call to Greatness
Forget everything you learned about the Founding Fathers. James Monroe wasn't just another face on a dollar bill—he was the man who saved America from collapse, doubled its size, and set the stage for a global superpower. From surviving a bullet to the chest at 18, to using his personal credit to fund a war, and bluffing Europe with the Monroe Doctrine, this is the untold story of the most underrated president. Harlow Giles Unger's biography reveals how a bankrupt, burned-out nation was rebuilt by one man. Watch to see why Monroe, not Washington or Jefferson, was the true architect of American greatness.
