John Adams
David McCullough, 2001
The life of a prickly, eloquent founder, told through the letters he and Abigail exchanged while they helped invent a country.
David McCullough
McCullough narrated Ken Burns's The Civil War and won Pulitzers for Truman and John Adams; the latter in 2002.
Feels like freedom, curiosity and wonder.
A revolution begins in minds, long before the first shot.
As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760–1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington. Books by David McCullough
