A New York Times Bestseller A Pulitzer Prize-winning Author In this powerful, epic biography, David McCullough unfolds the adventurous life journey of John Adams, the brilliant, fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee patriot -- "the colossus of independence," as Thomas Jefferson called him -- who spared nothing in his zeal for the American Revolution; who rose to become the second president of the United States and saved the country from blundering into war; who was learned beyond all but a few; and whose marriage is one of the moving love stories of American history.
