A biography that highlights the variety of opinions of this well-lettered founding father of our republic. The many activities of Adams and his noted prudence are on display in this lively tome.
Slightly dry but deep. It's not my favorite Adams biography, but it's worth revisiting now and then.
Good biography of John Adams. If you are an Adams-phile you will enjoy it. If not, you may want to avoid.
