Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
It was a pleasure to read a true perspective of this founding father. This book made him more human than history has made him in the past. The author did a fantastic job in trying to explain why he was the way he was and painted a vivid description of the life and times. On the other hand, I have... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from St. Martin's Press
Price: $16.29
Customer Review:
This short beautifully and passionately written book is not exactly what I thought it would be: just another shrill "Fox News" anti-terrorism commercial. It is a very different animal, indeed. And as the cliché goes, this author "has been there, done that, bought the tee shirt, and paid for... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

My former father-in-law is always sending me e-mails with stories of his childhood, his married life, growing up, as a working adult, etc. His stories are incredible.
