Hyungil Shim’s Reviews > Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation > Status Update

An illuminating and bite-sized book, not only about the eminent founding fathers - their anxieties, personalities, clashes - but also about the art of history and its tendency to smooth away (perhaps silence) the chaotic, nonlinear progress of life into a near storyline. Every story is part myth, a mere approximation to what living really is like.
