About this eBook

A special ebook boxed set from Pulitzer Prize–winning author David McCullough, featuring four books on American history.

This ebook box set includes the following American History-themed books by David McCullough:

John Adams is the magisterial, Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of the independent, irascible Yankee patriot, one of our nation’s founders and most important figures, who became our second president.

1776 is the riveting story of George Washington, the men who marched with him, and their British foes in the momentous year of American independence.

Truman is the Pulitzer Prize–winning biography of Harry Truman, the complex and courageous man who rose from modest origins to make momentous decisions as president, from dropping the atomic bomb to going to war in Korea.

This set also contains a special bonus: The Course of Human Events. In this Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, David McCullough draws on his personal experience as a historian to acknowledge the crucial importance of writing in history’s enduring impact and influence, and he affirms the significance of history in teaching us about human nature through the ages.

Ratings and reviews

A reader of Mccullough I also met him. My favorite of his, The Great Bridge, turns out to have a special place in his heart.
