The book was very interesting up to this point. The author gives very descriptive portraits of the cast of characters in the trial as well as motives behind their strategies during the trial.
However at about page 155 the author got mired in the reasoning behind Justice Marshall’s decision writing ad infinitum about the court’s definition of “treason” more specifically what determines “leveling of war”.

This is a short 212 page book, which is a good thing.
I'm a third of the way through with it, but I don't think I'd continue with it if it was much longer.
It is not capturing me the way other legal/court case books do.
Hard to read and feels disjointed.

Interesting book---that is not very complimentary to our third president.
Jefferson sought treason charges against Burr for all the wrong reasons.
I keep thinking that the criticism against Jefferson reflects the views of what many thought about Trump's judicial pov.
