- David Gaub McCullough (mə-kŭl'ə) is an American author, narrator, and lecturer. He is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian award. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, McCullough attended Yale University, earning a degree in English literature. His first book, The Johnstown Flood, was published in 1968; he has since written seven more on topics such as Harry S. Truman, John Adams, and the Brooklyn Bridge. McCullough has also narrated multiple documentaries, as well as the 2003 film Seabiscuit; he also hosted American Experience for twelve years. Two of McCullough's books, Truman and John Adams, have been adapted into a TV film and mini-series, respectively, by HBO. McCullough's next work, about Americans in Paris, is due out in 2010.
- David McCullough es un historiador estadounidense. Ha obtenido en dos ocasiones el premio Pulitzer, en el apartado de biografías. Entre sus obras más destacadas se cuentan The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, The Path Between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, Brave Companions, Truman, John Adams y 1776. McCullough es un historiador con un afán más divulgativo que académico y un estilo literario, muy próximo a la novela, rico, emotivo y vigoroso. El autor hace gala de patriotismo y parte de sus obras se dedican a ensalzar la obra de presidentes de los Estados Unidos, alguno de ellos tan discutido como Harry Truman, autor de la decisión de lanzar la bomba atómica contra Hiroshima y Nagasaki. En libros como 1776 linda con la parcialidad, al retratar con más expresividad la violencia británica y de los mercenarios de Hesse que la del bando independentista (los "patriotas"), aunque no deja de representar la miseria física y, en ocasiones moral, de los soldados de George Washington; tampoco en la representación del rey Jorge puede decirse que sea ecuánime, si la comparamos con la de Washington, Nathanael Greene o Henry Knox; de hecho, aunque McCullough maneja a fondo la documentación, no cabe decir que su mirada sea propiamente objetiva. Sin embargo de lo anterior, su punto de vista no es engañoso, puesto que es evidente, y su mayor virtud radica en su estilo, vivo y elegante, y su dominio de la trama narrativa, capaz de atrapar al lector en una emotiva reconstrucción de las encrucijadas históricas.
