These United States
My favorite portraits of Americans. Here is a list of five books about Americans that I intend to read.
1. "Real Life at the White House" by John Whitcomb and Claire Whitcomb (Routledge, 2000).
2. "No Ordinary Time" by Doris Kearns Goodwin (Simon & Schuster, 1994).
3. "When Trumpets Call" by Patricia O'Toole (Simon & Schuster, 2005).
4. "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young" by Harold G. Moore, Joseph L. Galloway (Random House, 1992).
5. "The Life and Times of a Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson (Broadway, 2006).
This list of books is recommended by Brian Williams the anchor and managing editor of "NBC Nightly News."
