mccullough is excellent.
i also recommend alexander hamiltons bio by ron chernow. fantastic book, great subject.
also have a couple by joseph ellis, his majesty george washington and founding brothers. both very good.

i am taking john adams on vacation, as well as the last cavalier (the last dumas) and a book on sarah churchill, duchess of marlborough.

but at the moment, i'm reading the second book in a trilogy by bernard cornwell. that guy is fantastic!! great historical fiction for those who like lots of action, battles, etc
