2.TrumanTruman
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
I have read most of McCullough's books, and so I knew that after reading this I would understand Harry S. Truman more deeply than I ever had. What I didn't know what was that I would learn so much about 20th century American history. McCullough is a great story-teller. His use of historical details... more info

3.The Lincolns: Portrait of a MarriageThe Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage
from Ballantine Books
Price: $18.48

Customer Review:
This book has a most intriguing look at the Lincolns as human beings. The Lincolns certainly seem more realistically portrayed in this book than in previous works.

from Penguin Press
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
It was my ambition in college to someday write a biography of the most neglected of the Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton. I talked about it, read a few of the biographies out there. Forrest McDonald's was the best, I thought.
Then last spring I borrowed from the Meredith, NH, public library... more info
