I will go with Founders. While I have read HW Brands work before there was already a book on the exact topic and just because a work is older doesn't mean it's less of a piece. I was curious what Brands might add to something that is already out there for three decades.

Thank you. It's hard to find the appropriate place to ask this on Reddit.

Heirs of the Founders vs The Great Triumvirate

These 2 books tackle the lives & relationships between them in early to mid 19th century U.S. Senators, Webster, Clay, & Calhoun.I am wondering which of the 2 is overall better or what distinct differences the 2 works have in the 31 year difference between publications.I only have time enough to read one, but wanted to pick up what fellow students of history thought b4 I pick 1 or the other up. The three men along with Quincy Adams and Jackson make up the first generation of politicians after the Revolution Era Thank you for any assistance that will lead me to either Heirs of The Founders or The Great Triumvirate.
