JEFFERSON: The Man Who Owned the Dream is a sharp biography of America’s third president—not as a myth, not as a monument, but as a man. From the pen that drafted the Declaration to the plantation that paid his bills, this book traces Thomas Jefferson’s full arc without apology, spin, or blind hero worship. You’ll see the Enlightenment thinker. The political operator. The architect of Monticello. The author of liberty. The father of enslaved children. And the man who helped design a system built to break itself. No sermons. No soft gloves. Just the facts and the fallout.

He didn’t govern. He performed. Ronald Reagan wasn’t just America’s 40th president — he was its most dangerous leading man. In REAGAN: The Actor Who Played President, JJ peels back the smile, the flag, and the fog to reveal the system beneath the script. From Hollywood nobody to union snitch, from Cold War cowboy to corporate prophet, Reagan didn’t just lead the country — he taught it how to forget what it used to be. This is not a hit piece. It’s not a love letter. It’s the untold biography of the man who gave the machine a face — and taught it how to lie with style.
