A review by isaacbarton
John Adams by David McCullough

5.0

I'm glad I read this when I did. It's strangely comforting to be reminded in a particularly harsh election year that there is nothing novel about the partisan nastiness and the general feeling that the US is on the brink of destruction. Those sentiments have been with us since the beginning. Ours is a civilization designed by its founders to live--even thrive--in that space.
