Description: Review of David McCullough's biography entitled, John Adams, by Pauline Maier published in New York Times on May 27, 2001. Link to first chapter of book, and interview with author. Free registration required.
In David McCullough's telling, the second president is reminiscent of the 33rd (Harry Truman). avid McCullough set out initially to write a joint biography of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. But he worried, as he explained to lecture audiences over the past few years, that Adams could not hold his own with Jefferson. Once he started doing research, his concern shifted. Could Jefferson stand up to Adams? McCullough's biography of Adams inevitably has a lot to say about Jefferson, but on virtually all points of comparison between the two men, Jefferson comes in second.
