Dinner at Mr. Jefferson's by Charles Cerami

Jefferson invited Hamilton and Madison to a private dinner in which they negotiated and agreed upon the Compromise of 1790: The national government would take over state debts, as Hamilton wanted, and the nation's capital would be in the South (Virginia, not Philadelphia), as Madison and Jefferson wanted. This should be fascinating, but instead, this book spends way too much time on the actual dinner - including recipes (I kid you not!!) - rather than the discussions of the dinner. I'll have to find a better version of this story.
