In 1804, while serving as vice president, Aaron Burr fought a duel with his political nemesis, Alexander Hamilton, and killed him. In 1807, he was arrested, tried, and acquitted of treason. In 1833, Burr is newly married, an aging statesman considered a monster by many. But he is determined to tell his own story, and he chooses to confide in a young New York City journalist named Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler. Together, they explore both Burr's past--and the continuing civic drama of their young nation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBurr\u003c\/i\u003e is the first novel in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series, which spans the history of the United States from the Revolution to post-World War II. With their broad canvas and sprawling cast of fictional and historical characters, these novels present a panorama of American politics and imperialism, as interpreted by one of our most incisive and ironic observers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375708732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.30w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2000 pg. 1443\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2003 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2004 pg. 1611\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/26\/2015 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gore Vidal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636691988636,"sku":"9780375708732","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_53cb555f-7065-480d-941e-11a65e5db187.jpg?v=1603842662","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/burr-9780375708732","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
