I'd recommend everything else that McCullough has written.
He has a new book coming out on the Right Brothers.
I am looking forward to that.
His books on John Adams and Harry Truman are also excellent.

Yes, due to my continuing interest in emergency and disaster preparedness,
my University course on that topic, etc., I have read it, and always
recommend it to any students who express an interest in the topic of
human-made disasters.
It is a truly excellent read, and is available on BARD.
