The Fabric of America
Praise for An Artist in Treason
“Wilkinson may be the most unscrupulous character in all of American history . . . This biography of Wilkinson, who, writes Linklater, had ‘one of the most extraordinary careers as a secret agent in the history of espionage,’ is probably the best we have; it certainly is the most smoothly written.”
—Gordon S. Wood, New York Review of Books
“What makes this tautly written narrative so timely is that it reminds us that the myth of American Manifest Destiny and the virtuous inevitability of our sway over a continent is just so much hogwash . . . [A] meticulously researched, well-written book.”
—Washington Times
“Linklater skillfully captures this sociopathic rogue who, for all his defects, still commands attention from everyone trying to understand the 50 years after 1775. His charisma reaches across two centuries to perplex and fascinate any reader of this fast-paced and fully researched work.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A well- wrought study of far- reaching treachery in the early years of the United States.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“This fascinating and richly detailed book is a useful resource for studying America’s early struggles with internal interference and external opposition.”
—Library Journal
