Guide Review
"John Adams"
by David McCullough 
One of the most critically acclaimed works of historic biography since McCullough’s "Truman," the story of John Adams has received nothing but raves from book reviewers. “As in his magisterial TRUMAN, McCullough spins out the story of John Adams through scads of solidly researched anecdotes of the sort that breathe real life into nonfiction.” – The Boston Globe “The authentic John Adams has been concealed too long in the glamorous shadows of Jefferson and Washington, and some rectification is past due. McCullough's biography will go far to provide it…” -- Boston Post Book World
