Enjoyed it...

Great to listen to a calming voice and a great history lesson to listen to again and again...

awesome great history lesson

I loved it from beginning to the end.
Makes me think about my own so called toil.

Brilliant prose

An amazingly concise review of human history as applied by the founders. A bit too concise for the price of a book, but probably more valuable in someways. Certainly Mcullough took time to write a shorter letter.

Inspiring

David McCullough is a master at bringing history to life and teaching us the importance of studying our country’s history

Amazing historical perspective as usual

A master storyteller and historian, David McCullough should be given a Nobel prize for his works on the Revolutionary War.
