About this listen
If you want to discover the captivating life of John Jay, then pay attention....
John Jay was a master statesman and strategic diplomat who associated with all the great men of his day in the mid-18th century. However, his contemporaries said that he was modest and humble. They indicated that they could be at a party or gathering and guests had to coax him into discussing his role during the American Revolution or as the first Supreme Court Justice of the new nation.
When he became the first chief justice of America, he established the groundwork for fairness and neutrality in decision-making. Many of the principles he established in the 19th century are practiced today by this high court. His foresight was extremely acute, and leaders of America sought out his opinions even during his retirement. He was a role model for patience and fairness, and he manifested these qualities in his roles as a jurist, the governor of New York, and the ambassador to Spain, France, and England.

Good Explanation About John Jay
I had never heard of John Jay. I was amazed at what he accomplished and was equally amazed that he was not mentioned in history books.

I'm Happy With It
Well written but a little less defense of John Jay at the expense of other writers would have been better. A good audiobook filled with insights I am glad I purchased the book.
