Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough achieved great success last year with John Adams, his biography of America’s second president. Time magazine named it the best non-fiction book of 2001. Audiences agreed, sending it to the top of The New York Times bestseller list. A two-time National Book Award winner, McCullough has been called “one of our most gifted living writers” by The Washington Post. He is the author of numerous non-fiction works including Truman and The Great Bridge. PBS fans will recognize McCullough as the host of “The American Experience” and as narrator of numerous documentaries, including Ken Burns’ acclaimed series, “The Civil War.”
