5By PuttinEmOnBlass… but I’m about to LOSE IT on these fools at Apple !$@& I’ve bought every Candice Millard book on tape, nobody compares to her but every so often Apple reminds me who wears the pants and tries to trick me into paying for them again. I can’t access my purchases Candice helpDestiny of the Republic
5By K9 ApolloWell written, a suspense novel based on fact. I have read her books on Churchill and Roosevelt, which were both outstanding.Page turner !
5By CrazyinKarachiWow! I love books like this that weave direct source historical accounts into a story that reads like a page-turning novel. It provided a fascinating window both into President Garfield, who is not nearly familiar enough given his significance, as well as the U.S. at a time of great growth and growing pains.Superb History
5By Sherjo53This book enlightened me about a president of whom I knew very little. The author brought him to life as well as the times. The information about Dr. Lister and Alexander graham bell was also interesting as their lives all entertwined. We often forget the connections that occur in life as well as the personal nature of all of us famous or otherwise. She has brought an insight into the human frailties and strengths of us all.Good Book
4By Emmet AloysiusAn informative, enlightening accounting of the life and death of James Garfield, an American president who I knew very little about. What a heroic and tragic figure he was and Millard tells the tale in a easy to understand and enjoyable way. A good book for history buffs...EAFDestiny of the Republic is excellent
5By Dr Joe BNot knowing anything about the Garfield presidency other than his assassination attempt, I was astounded by the dramatic and historic detail that went into this book. Excellent...two thumbs up!!Lost History
5By CB FLA slow miserable death for a man who deserved much better, but like so many of his generation, Garfield was sacrificed for the status quo. Well written similar to the O'Reilly "killing" series. It's a page turner.Destiny of the Republic
5By CtrefneyI usually read fiction but if all non-fiction were as enjoyable as this book, I would consider reading more of them. Very informative and well-written, it pulls you right in at the beginning and doesn't let go until the final page. I even went through all the notes near the end. I may have to make a pilgrimage to Mentor, OH and Washington, DC to visit the sites that Ms. Millard visited for her research.
