By Judson, The United States

"Although only halfway through at the present, this is one of the best biographies I've ever read. The joy and industry in Winthrop's life are admirable in every way. It's fashionable to mock the Puritans, but, as Morgan points out, they found answers to questions that bedevil us today. Perhaps we mock them because we are jealous of them."

"A fascinating look at the political saavy and religious angst of Massachusetts's first great leader. Morgan is an engaging, flavorful writer, and I really appreciated the way he related the personal to the public in Winthrop's life."
