About Bradley J. Birzer
American Cicero reveals why founders such as John Adams assumed that Carroll would one day be considered among the greats - and also why history has largely forgotten him. Bradley J. Birzer, the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in History and the director of the American Studies Program at Hillsdale College, is the author or editor of four other books.
