लेखक: Forrest McDonald

Forrest Mc Donald (1927–2016) was professor of history at the University of Alabama for more than twenty-five years. He is the author or coauthor of fourteen books, including Novus Ordo Seclorum: The Intellectual Origins of the Constitution, which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in history.Joining him formally as coauthor is his wife and longtime intellectual partner, Ellen Shapiro Mc Donald. Though she worked with her husband on all of his publications, she chose to only be formally credited as coauthor on this project and as coeditor of Confederation and Constitution, 1781–1789.
