Early US History

Washington and Hamilton - such a fascinating partnership. Had Hamilton been a citizen, he would have been a President.
Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates - I’m a little wary of this bc I don’t want to read an anti-Muslim rant.
The First Congress - more productive than our current Congress!
Igniting the American Revolution - the years just prior to 1776

President and Apprentice - Eisenhower and Nixon - interested to see if this version is the same as Nixonland.
Class of 65
Lady Bird and Lyndon - bc LBJ
The Generals: Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, and the Winning of World War II - I became obsessed with Patton earlier this year when I read about his anti-Semitism and his deplorable comments re the Displaced Persons. I listened to American Warlords: How Roosevelt's High Command Led America to Victory in World War II which was terrific and am interested to see how different this one is from that.

London Fog - I love biographies of things
