Treason Summary
|
This is the stirring story of historical mystery and power in the days when our nation was young and vulnerable. A time when adventurers hungered to turn brilliant prospects into personal gain. Three powerful men, James Madison, Aaron Burr and General James Wilkinson, appear in desperate collision with each other in a tale of treason that puts the very future of the nation and its democracy at stake. James Madison, the Secretary of State, is the unlikely hero whose icy nerves and powerful intellect are underestimated. Aaron Burr, elected Vice President in 1800, has shattered the trust he enjoys by trying to steal the presidency from under Jefferson's nose. Stripped of power, Burr kills Hamilton in a raging duel and flees murder indictment. Aaron Burr is a ruined man. Enter the arch villain of American history, General James Wilkinson, the only US Commander known to have been a traitor. Working for Spain, Wilkinson seduces Burr with dreams of stealing the whole Louisiana Territory. This is the story of ambitions and dreams shattered. It is a tale of intrigue and greed, of the powerful figures in American history, who are unable to see the extent of their visions. It is the story of a young democracy. It is the American story. |
