I've only read two novels by Safire: Scandalmonger and Freedom. Scandalmonger is about a journalism who wrote scandals first about John Adams with the support of Thomas Jefferson and later wrote about Jefferson.
Freedom is about the Emancipation Declaration.
I love these books because they pull me in, but also because Safire is true to history, often putting words in historical figures mouths that they actually wrote. He also supplies a supplement that discusses the historical events and any deviation he made from those events.
