Did you know John Adams could walk on water? (according to McCullough anyway) I have seldom read a more biased book from a historian of such note. Washington,Jefferson,Hamilton,Madison,Franklin,etc.,etc. Were all mean,unable,ambituous,vile men to varying degrees. Only Adams was pure. As a book on Adams it is fine but as a source on our colonial history, forget it. It could be 100% correct but I doubt it. I strongly doubt the honesty of this book. Again, it is a great book on Adams. However, I look upon it as "The Alice Through the Looking Glass" of history books. It is well worth the reading. But,is it likely he stood alone in character and ability?
