Our second president is an impressive subject. He didn't win the revolution but he did nominate George Washington to lead the troops. He didn't write the Declaration of Independence but he had huge influence on the basic structure of our government and democracy. He was instrumental in convincing foreign governments to support the new country during the revolution and served as the first vice president. He was married to a woman whom he considered a partner. She was impressive in her own right, extremely intelligent and level headed and always managed their finances because she was better at it than he was. This book tells a lot about John Adams but also much about the founding fathers and the time of the revolution. at 752 pages it will keep you busy for awhile but it is time well spent.
