Caught between the ideals of God’s Law and the practical needs of the people; John Winthrop walked a line few could tread. In every aspect of our society today we see the workings of the tension between individual freedom and the demands of authority. Here is the story of the people that brought this idea to our shores: the Puritans. Edmund Morgan relates the hardships and triumphs of the Puritan movement through this vivid account of its most influential leader; John Winthrop. The titles in the Library of American Biography Series make ideal supplements for American History Survey courses or other courses in American history where figures in history are explored. Paperback; brief; and inexpensive; each interpretive biography in this series focuses on a figure whose actions and ideas significantly influenced the course of American history and national life. In addition; each biography relates the life of its subject to the broader themes and developments of the times.

This book goes deep into all aspects of our Presidents lives; both politically and personal. The only drawback would be some of the details are repeated from President to President. Otherwise a great read !0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
