An excellent recent biographical TV series, “John Adams” (by HBO, if I recall correctly), is currently available in video stores.
Is it the one with Paul Giamatti from 2008? That one is available at netflix.
I ended up buying this out of the “dollar bin”..
One of the best investments I ever made. As a History Buff, I suddenly realized that John Adams was not as prominent a figure as the other founding fathers.
I did know he represented the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre.
I did not know that all the parties were never assembled in one room, as indicated by the portrait “The Signing of the Declaration of Independance”.
Neither did I know that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day. Or that John Adams survived Thomas Jefferson by a number of hours, but thought the opposite.
The three dvd set is well worth watching.
Yes and it is a “must watch” for every true-blooded American especially in the times we find ourselves.
