John Adams
John Adams by David McCullough
This is a very interesting, detailed book with a great deal of early American hisitory. Included of course, is much material about Abigail, his beloved wife. She had a noteworthy influence on Adams’ decisions and activities.. Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, all figure in the book, and particularly George Washington. At more than 600 pages, the book is a bit lengthy for my taste, but I was engaged throughout; there was a lot to learn in this book. I was especially impressed by the amount of rivalry among the early patriots. But then, why should they be any different from the politicians of today.
