Product Review
I found particularly poignant the final chapter titled Conclusions and Consequences by Bahman Batmanghelidj. Bravo! it is very well stated. -- Caspar W. Weinberger, Jr
The claim that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with his slave Sally Hemings has been shown to be baseless. -- Insight Magazine, Dr. James P. Lucier
“An incredible new book that really destroys the case that Jefferson had a relationship with Sally Hemings.” -- —Dr. James McClellan, London University
Product Description
This book carefully looks at the facts and finds that, contrary to the way the matter has been portrayed in the news media, there is no substantial evidence at all to support the charge that Thomas Jefferson had a relationship with Sally Hemings. In fact, the best evidence indicates it never happened. The book details how evidence that would exonerate Jefferson was ignored, how the news media were manipulated, how dissent was suppressed, how one early document was altered to reverse its meaning, and how the scientific evidence was given a misleading headline in order to make it appear that Jefferson was guilty. Dr. James McClellan of London University described it as "An incredible new book that really destroys the case that Jefferson had a relationship with Sally Hemings."
Reader Reviews
The authors who have banded together to "defend" Jefferson from the "travesty" of the "charge" that he and Sally Hemings had a sexual liaison that produced children have done all involved a sad disservice. The personal hostility of the authors to such scholars as Annette Gordon-Reed, and to the leadership of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, undermines any attempt to take their position seriously. They have assumed their conclusions and are determined to pound them home. They quote out of context, omit vital factual data, present sources as saying the opposite of what they say, and otherwise muddy the waters to the point of impenetrability. -- R. B. Bernstein, Adjunct Professor of Law, New York Law School
