 John Adams biography
by Freeman on July 30, 2007
This is an amazing biography. Reads like a novel. Caused me to think that John Adams should be remembered as The Father of Our Country. Washington won the war but Adams won the peace when the country could not afford a war against France. Adams held out for diplomacy even though Washington and Hamilton were trying to push him into declaring war. Adams was a truly great President and more importantly, a Patriot in the best sense of the word.

Great Book
by Michael on June 23, 2008
David McCullough went above and beyond on this book. I would love to see him do books on Jefferson and Linlcon. He has done John justice and explained why and how this man rose to the level that he did. This is the first book that I have ever given 5 stars to and I would give more if I could.
