The Meaning of Independence: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington (Norton Library)
With the wit, grace, and sense of irony we have come to expect from him, Morgan seeks to discover 'the meaning of independence' for the Revolutionary generation and indeed, for our own.... Morgan is not only a brilliant historian but a superb storyteller as well.(Choice) There's simply no better way of comprehending Washington and Adams than reading this book....Morgan is a supremely artful historian. Masking his commanding authority (in this and his other books) is a puckish ease and an utterly smooth prose style that manages to be at once conversational and incisive.(Atlantic)--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
