Reviews

John Adams by David McCullough

By Michael Patrick Brady

A quintessentially American story about common heroic acts, and the impact one person can have when they throw their whole selves into a cause they believe in. [17 March 2008]

1776 by David McCullough

It’s one thing to simply read Washington’s words as they are related through the eyes and pen of an intermediary like McCullough, but to hold in your hands a faithful recreation of his original letter, to follow the loops and valleys of his script handwriting -- this experience significantly personalizes the history. [22 October 2007]
