Fred Kaplan, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Lincoln, returns with John Quincy Adams, an illuminating biography of one of the most overlooked presidents in American history—a leader of sweeping perspective whose progressive values helped shape the course of the nation.In this fresh and lively biography rich in literary analysis and new historical detail, Fred Kaplan brings into focus the dramatic life of John Quincy Adams—the little known and much misunderstood sixth president of the United States and the first son of John and Abigail Adams—and persuasively demonstrates how Adams's inspiring, progressive vision guided his life and helped shape the course of America.Kaplan draws on a trove of unpublished archival material to trace Adams's evolution from his childhood during the Revolutionary War to his brilliant years as Secretary of State to his time in the White House and beyond. He examines Adams's myriad sides: the public and private man, the statesman and writer, the wise thinker and passionate advocate, the leading abolitionist and fervent federalist who believed strongly in both individual liberty and the government's role as an engine of progress and prosperity. In these ways—and in his energy, empathy, sharp intellect, and powerful gift with words both spoken and written—he was a predecessor of Lincoln and, later, FDR and Obama. Indeed, this sweeping biography makes clear how Adams's forward-thinking values, his definition of leadership, and his vision for the nation's future is as much about twenty-first century America as it is about Adams's own time.Meticulously researched and masterfully written, John Quincy Adams paints a rich portrait of this brilliant leader and his significance to the nation and our own lives.

This biography of John Quincy Adams is excellent. It is very lengthy and full of information. It is clearly written. I learned a great deal. Due to its length I had to take my time with it and do parallel reading so that I could absorb the information.John Quincy Adams lived at a very Interesting time and crossroads of American and World history. His father, of course, was a founding father. He traveled to Europe and represented America in various European Courts, including during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte. He served in House of Representatives at the same time as a young Abraham Lincoln.In addition to the "big picture" I learned a lot about inside politics of this period. As one example, there was a cabal of politicians and and seemingly some intriguers in New England at this time that became known as the "Essex Junto". I was unfamiliar with most aspects of their activities and if I had ever heard that term, I have forgotten it.This biography also provided much fuel for contemplation about various political implications of and import subjects such as the "three fifths" language in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution. I knew it was there but had never appreciated the full import of its impact on national politics.By complete coincidence I have come across a biography of Louisa Adams, "Louisa", authored by Louisa Thomas, that I am now reading. It is also excellent.In summary, I completely enjoyed this biography and found it very educational. It is quite lengthy and that is probably the hardest part of the reading experience. It is clearly written and is my custom I listened to an audiobook as I read. I could listen during commuting and was able to follow the text. I continue to work my way through "Louisa" and it is also excellent. Thank You...
