144 pp. | National | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-7013-4 $$18.95
(2) 4-6 Blumberg incisively presents the 1803 Louisiana Purchase in the context of global politics, individuals' ambitions, and, quite frequently, shortsighted views of potential gains. The contest between Napoleon's ambition and Jefferson's vision is the focal point that gives unity to the whole. A well-told tale, handsomely produced and profusely illustrated with reproductions and maps. Bib., ind.
