The book for March is The Quartet by Joseph J. Ellis.
In 1776, thirteen American colonies declared themselves independent states that only temporarily joined forces in order to defeat the British. Ellis has given us a gripping and dramatic portrait of one of the most crucial and misconstrued periods in American history: the years between the end of the Revolution and the formation of the federal government. The Quartet unmasks a myth, and in its place presents an even more compelling truth-one that lies at the heart of understanding the creation of the United States of America.
