Mr. Unger is no stranger to readers of revolutionary era biographies. I have recently read his biography of James Monroe, The Last Founding Father, James Monroe and a Nation's Call to Greatness. The research was superb and the writing was even better. I would put his readability close to that of Joseph Ellis, who is the biggest rock superstar of current living historians. Mr. Unger just does not have that star power yet. Both Unger and Fleming are on the cusp of the all-time hall of famer list in my library of scholarly works. I plan toreadUngerbioof Patrick Henry, Lion of Liberty, in the near future. I look forward to the next bio to flow from Mr. Unger's pen.
