The Character of John Adams, Hardback Book

Hardback

Description

The formal side of Adams is reconciled with his remarkably colorful private life by Shaw's penetrating grasp of the whole man.

Considerable attention is given to his clash of wills with Franklin in Europe and his later relationship with Jefferson.

The account of Adams's twenty-five years of retirement after losing the presidency resolves some of the dilemmas arising from the long career of a man who was never really suited by temperament for politics.
