Thomas Jefferson: The Man Who Wrote America's Soul and Its Greatest Hypocrisy
Thomas Jefferson: Author of America
Christopher Hitchens' explosive biography, 'Thomas Jefferson: Author of America', tears down the myth of the Founding Father. Jefferson drafted 'all men are created equal' while owning slaves. He championed liberty but crushed a Haitian revolution to protect slavery. He hated banks, then used them. He feared centralized power, then doubled the nation's size with a single purchase. This isn't a history lesson—it's a raw, unfiltered look at the man who built America and left its deepest wound. Hitchens reveals Jefferson as a walking contradiction: a genius who believed in reason, yet couldn't escape the evil he depended on. If you think you know Jefferson, you're wrong. Watch to see why history is a tragedy, not a moral fable.
