I’ve read his books on Truman and Adams and his book 1776. I didn’t like his latest one on an Ohio town just because I found it boring. But his writing was excellent.

My favorite of his is his book on the Brooklyn Bridge. Riveting in every way.

I liked his book on the building of the Brooklyn Bridge so much that after I was done reading it, I immediately went down there and walked across it a couple of times (I work up on 46th and Lex).

Not only an amazing piece of engineering but the hardship and danger that many of the workers subjected themselves to is hard to fathom in this more modern age.
