“[McCullough] is one of the great historical storytellers of his generation"
-- Robert W. Merry * The Wall Street Journal *
"If you enjoy good stories well told about interesting people and places, you should read this book. You will learn something about history -- and also about good historical writing." * Cleveland Plain Dealer *
"McCullough's portrayals ... are models of compression, perspective, and the discriminating use of detail, and of what the author calls 'the possibilities for self-expression in writing narrative history.'" * The New York Times Book Review *
"It will come as no surprise to the reader to learn that Mr. McCullough's first ambition was to be a portrait painter. He has supplied us with admirable portraits....All his subjects come alive." * Dallas Morning News *
“For more than 40 years, David McCullough has brought the past to life in books distinguished by vigorous storytelling and vivid characterizations." -- Wendy Smith * Los Angeles Times *
“McCullough is among the most thoughtful and thorough historians of the past two generations. . . . [A] great American mind.” -- John S. Gardner * The Guardian *
