"If nations anointed historians laureate," commented Washington Post critic Edwin M. Yoder, Jr., "David McCullough would surely be ours." The author of numerous popular biographies and histories, McCullough tackled subjects from the construction of the Panama Canal to the biographies of presidents of the United States to 1776, the difficult year of birth of the American republic, producing books praised for being well researched, and also highly readable historical accounts.
