This is a delightful, but remarkably thin historical volume from David McCullough who's biographies of John Adams, Teddy Roosevelt and Truman made these remarkable men more accessable to us than any other writer. This book presents short profiles of men McCullough sees as having shaped this country.

Excellent book! Of course, well written...McCullough never disappoints. But so many times I found myself thinking, "well, who knew?" Now I know...and you should too.
