About This Item
New York:: Simon & Schuster,, (2001.). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. First printing. "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 an unnecessary war; who was learned beyond all but a few and regarded by some as "out of his senses"; and whose marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history." Winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Biography (the second time McCullough received this award). Illustrated with drawings and sections of both color and black and white photographic plates. Includes the Adams family genealogical tree, Source Notes, Bibliography, and Index. 751 pp. Illustrated endpapers.
