McCullough's John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale, an audiobook about politics, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship, and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.

They need a proper sound elimination system for this audio, but the book itself is amazing!! wish the hbo story was more accurate. J Adam's didnt show so much disgust to his son in law, based on this book. He did take Charles with him to France!!! And he did in fact help his son inlaw get a job! I was very pleased with these truths!

He fought for Washington, served with Lincoln, witnessed Bunker Hill, and sounded the clarion against slavery on the eve of the Civil War. He negotiated an end to the War of 1812, engineered the annexation of Florida, and won the Supreme Court decision that freed the African captives of La Amistad. He served his nation as minister to six countries, secretary of state, senator, congressman, and president. John Quincy Adams was all of these things and more. In this masterful biography, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger reveals Adams as a towering figure in the nation’s formative years.

George Washington as he's rarely seen. Besides being a general and the first president of the United States, George Washington was also a farmer. His efforts to create a self-sufficient farm at Mount Vernon, Virginia, mirrored his struggle to form a new nation. Excerpts from Washington's writings are featured throughout the book, which also includes a timeline, resource section, as well as essays on Washington at Mount Vernon and his thoughts on slavery.

In this stirring audiobook, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence, when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

I thank the beautiful and talented author for this. I bought the paper back on amazon and used my credit from my audible membership to purchase the audio. With the audio and book in hand, I read this 3 times. It is fantastic. if it wasn't for a stack of other books waiting for me, and my eagerness to purchase more from this author, Id give it a 4th go! I cried at the end and was shocked a few times throughout..if you think you know the entire Revolution like me, give this a shot. The added details are eye opening and allows you to see it for yourself. 294 pages on just the first year of the war tells you the amount of detail. Thank you David McCullough! I'm your biggest fan. -Hollie

Jim Dale brings JK Rowling's amazing series to life! This is absolutely amazing!!! I've read the entire series, and my two.oldest read the eitnre series, but my youngest, even at 11 years, even though I've read to him his whole life and he LOVES reading at bedtime, was extremely intimated by "big chapter books". I couldn't get him to read anything beyond easy read chapter books, or even listen to me read, without him panicking. That is until I tried the audio books for Harry Potter. Being we are huge Harry potter fans in the house, and he loves the first 3 movies (we never watched the rest in front of him, too young and spoilers since he hadn't read them yet) I gave this a shot... and omg!!! I'm soo thankful for Jim Dale!!! his talent stretches beyond anything you can imagine. And my son who just turned 13, is hooked. Hooked on Jim Dale, hooked on Potter, and hooked on to Literature!!!! His fear of a big book is completely gone!!! besides rereading Harry Potter, he has read 11 great books last school and has read 4 this summer (Deathly Hallows will be the 5th). He did the audio first and then reread them over and over on his own for 2 years, we've lost count but I think he read the first 3 about a ten times each, the 4th he read twice with audio and once silently. His brother and sister are getting anxious for him to finish the series so for the summer are plowing through. I allowed him to take it slow bc I wasnt sure how he'd like the dark stuff and the deaths of beloved characters. but he is 13 now and he wants to keep going!!! He handled the deaths very well and understands the structure and plot wonderfully! My son LOVES to read amazing literature now, goodbye stick dog and bad kitty!!! He doesn't even remember when just 2 years ago he refused to pick up a "big chapter book!". Happy Mom!!! Thank you Jim Dale!!!!
