No document provides a more complete record of the deliberations in Philadelphia or depicts the Convention's charismatic figures, crushing disappointments, and miraculous triumphs with such narrative force. But how reliable is this account? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[A] superb study of the Constitutional Convention as selectively reflected in Madison's voluminous notes on it...Scholars have been aware that Madison made revisions in the \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e but have not intensively explored them. Bilder has looked closely indeed at the \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e and at his revisions, and the result is this lucid, subtle book. It will be impossible to view Madison's role at the convention and read his \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e in the same uncomplicated way again...An accessible and brilliant rethinking of a crucial moment in American history.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Robert K.
