Requests:  0 Summary:  "The early years of the republic were full of self-interested individuals, sometimes succeeding in their plots, sometimes failing, but always shaping the young nation. A Republic of Scoundrels seeks to re-examine the Founding Generation and replace the hagiography of the Founding Fathers with something more realistic: a picture that embraces the many facets of our nations origins."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 973.30922 Re Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 973.30922 Re Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.30922 Republic Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.30922 Re Checked out 06/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books 973.30922 Re Checked out 05/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.30922 Re Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.30922 Re Checked out 05/31/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.30922 Re Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.30922 Re Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList
