McCullough’s ability to weave a narrative out of primary documents as though they were all part of a larger picture that only he can discern is impressive. I’m a little biased here because of my love for the time period that is mythologized with great men and women defining and defending all that is and should be great about humanity. The book struggles in establishing the larger context and importance of events by limiting itself to one year of a near decade long war, however. Overall, however, this book will forever be a happy place of what government and citizenry can be.
