Summary

You are there, in 1787 at America's constitutional convention, with the inside story that reads like a modern-day account of the secret proceedings in Philadelphia. Veteran print and broadcast journalist St. John "reports" each day's proceedings, flavoring his dispatches with quotes from private correspondence and notes of the delegates. He captures the frustration, conflict, hope and despair of our Founders during the long, sweltering summer session, as the political future of our country hangs in the balance. It is an enthralling story, never before told in this journalistic form. Appearing in major newspapers and broadcast around the world daily during the summer of 1987 by the United States Information Agency, Constitutional Journal is an account of the founding of the United States that students of the Constitution will enjoy for years
