John Adams Biography Audio Book
David McCullough is the author of this massive 30 hour audio biography about John Adams.
In this powerful, epic biography, David McCullough unfolds the adventurous life-journey of John Adams, the brilliant, fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee patriot who spared nothing in his zeal for the American Revolution; who thought, wrote, and spoke out for the “Great Cause” come what might; who traveled far and wide in all seasons and often at extreme risk; who rose to become the second President of the United States and saved the country from blundering into an unnecessary war; who was rightly celebrated for his integrity, and regarded by some as “out of his senses”; and whose marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history.
Much about John Adams’s life will come as a surprise to many. His rocky relationship with friend and eventual archrival Thomas Jefferson, his courageous voyage on the frigate Boston tin the winter of 1778 and his later trek over the Pyrenees are exploits few would have dared and that few listeners will ever forget.
Like his masterful, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Truman, David McCullough’s John Adams has the sweep and vitality of a great novel. This is history on a grand scale — an audiobook about politics and war and social issues, but also about human nature, love, religious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship and betrayal, and the far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, It is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.

Audio Books are a great way to spend dead, boring times like traffic jams, long waits at airports etc. or while exercising , jogging , during long trips and whenever you feel like just laying back and relaxing.
Experience for yourself how listening to a book can be fun, relaxing and a truly great way to enjoy a great book without having to read pages and pages of boring and eye straining text.
You’ll never have a boring moment throughout your day when you listen to brilliantly narrated books from your favorite writers . Or may be you prefer to learn a new language without having to read and memorize.
Audio books make it possible to make great use of those formerly unproductive minutes and hours while giving you great fulfillment and joy.
And now a days with the advent of high speed internet and mp3 players you can download your favorite audio book and start listening in a matter of minutes without having to go out to the book store and hope to find an audio book that interest you on tape or cd.
Also the fact that bookstores usually have a very limited titles on audio books where as on the internet there is an endless supply of titles , subjects and authors to choose from that you can instantly download and listen to in the comfort of your home, in my opinion, it’s just amazing.
