| | 2. |  | Truman
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.

| | 6. |  | Alexander Hamilton
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.
