While listeners will miss his unmistakable voice, this assembly of David McCullough's shorter uncollected pieces offers illuminating glimpses of the popular historian's work habits and methods. Commemorative speeches, his PARIS REVIEW interview, and his reflections on writing about Harry Truman, Abigail Adams, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Panama Canal remind listeners of McCullough's astonishing range and depth. A particular delight is his history of the typewriter he used throughout his career. Interlocutor Dorie McCullough Lawson doesn't have her father's vocal skill, but she conveys a sense of his presence and personality. Fellow historian Jon Meacham's admiring introduction offers a reminder of McCullough's accessibility and warmth. Principal narrator John Bedford Lloyd delivers each selection with appreciation and understanding, and to full effect. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2025]
