520 1  "Setting the World Ablaze is the story of the three men 
       who, perhaps more than any others, helped bring the United
       Sates into being: George Washington, John Adams, and 
       Thomas Jefferson. Braiding three strands into one 
       narrative, John Ferling brings these American icons down 
       from their pedestals to show them as men of flesh and 
       blood, and gives us a new understanding of the passion and
       uncertainty of the struggle to form a new nation." 
       "Setting the World Ablaze shows in detail how these 
       conservative men - successful members of the colonial 
       elite - were transformed into radical revolutionaries, and
       in doing so, it illuminates not just the special genius of
       these three leaders, but the transformation of His 
       Majesty's colonies into the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
