Chris DeRose: Founding Rivals

The New York Times Bestselling Author

In 1789, James Madison and James Monroe ran against each other for Congress-the only time that two future presidents have contested a congressional seat. This was a race that determined the future of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the very definition of the United States of America.

"One of the Best Political Books of the Year." ~ The Washington Post

The New York Times featured Founding Rivals in an article on the Congressional Book Club as a book popular with members of Congress.
