Praise for Declaration

"Watson, in this remarkable book, illuminates the mysteries surrounding the painstaking process and deliberations that went into crafting the timeless document, highlighting the often-overlooked human dimension, and in so doing reminds us that even our most celebrated national documents still have mysteries to explore."

Richard M. Yon, Ph.D., US Military Academy at West Point

"Watson has produced one of the best works in recent memory on the development of the Declaration of Independence and its centrality to the founding of the United States. More significantly, the author compellingly demonstrates how the values and principles of the founding document transcend the political divides that have come to dominate contemporary America."
