From One Of America'S Foremost Historians, Inventing America Compares Thomas Jefferson'S Original Draft Of The Declaration Of Independence With The Final, Accepted Version, Thereby Challenging Many Longcherished Assumptions About Both The Man And The Document. Although Jefferson Has Long Been Idealized As A Champion Of Individual Rights, Wills Argues That In Fact His Vision Was One In Which Interdependence, Not Selfinterest, Lay At The Foundation Of Society. No One Has Offered So Drastic A Revision Or So Close Or Convincing An Analysis As Wills Has . . . The Results Are Little Short Of Astonishing (Edmund S. Morgan New York Review Of Books ).
