Sinopsis
From the preface: "Why have I chosen to write about John Adams? Because he is the brightest, quickest, most honest man I have met in history. A revolutionist, ready to die for independence, yet a man who loved order, loved England indeed A man pre-eminently of hi time and century, Adams threw himself wholly into the action and passions of his day, never ceasing to learn, to read and study books and men He was a man worthy in brain and character to follow George Washington as President of the United States, yet a man I felt I could meet and talk to easily."
