Washington to W. Bush: These were my favorites
“Jefferson and His Times,” Dumas Malone (6 vols)
“George Washington,” Thomas Flexnor (4 vols)
“Harry Truman: A Life,” Robert H. Ferrell
“Roosevelt,” James MacGregor Burns (2 vols))
“Mornings of Horseback, “David McCullough
“Kennedy,” Ted Sporenson
“Kennedy,” James MacGregor Burns
“John Quincy Adams,” Samuel Flagg Bemis (2 vols)
“Wilson,” Arthur S. Link (5 vols)
“Lincoln,” Davis Herbert Donald
That is an impressive list. Several multi-volumes. I have heard great things about Malone and Flexnor's series. Some of these I haven't heard of.
May want to read Grant’s autobiography which is excellent.
Jean Edward Smith is a great writer and I’ve enjoyed reading his various biographies.
I agree! Except I found his biography of George W Bush to be overly critical and biased
Funny in that I’ve not read that yet. Grant, Truman, Lucius Clay -all excellent.
Thumbs up on your selections!
Did you read Grant's autobiography?
I have not read it. I have heard it was good!
Well worth the read .. just like Pershing's because it's not what you expect.
Interesting list with a few surprises!
