His biography of John Adams is well worth reading. It was given to me as a gift and I finally read it a couple of years ago. The HBO series won a lot of awards and is highly recommended.
Historian David McCullough passed away yesterday. He was a 2 time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He is known for his biographies of John Adams and Harry Truman. The award winning HBO mini-series on John Adams is based on his work (rerun every July 4th).
Most importantly, he will be remembered as the narrator for the movie Seabiscuit.

Met him twice - he was also a very kind gentleman.
I just got my copy of 1776 back from youngest child. He is such a pleasure to read, and his range was impressive.
