It's election year -- political ads and news crowd the airways. As in any election year, you'll hear numerous references to the Constitution, the backbone of United States' government.
The Constitution is a remarkable document -- and so is the story about the personalities and circumstances that shaped its creation. So, if you're interested in history, politics or characters, I'd recommend reading Plain, Honest Men - The Making of The American Constitution by Richard Beeman. Beeman is a distinguished historian and his account of behind the scenes actions and compromises that shaped the Constitution is engrossing and engaging. In some places, it almost felt like reading fiction. It's excellent, unbiased and helps to understand the many complex issues that were faced by the founding fathers. Add this one to your list of books to read!
