Reviews
Paul C. Nagel focuses on the sources of Adams's curious mixture of duty and defiance...It is the character of the man, his personality, that dominates this biography...Nagel has given us a John Quincy Adams with a heart as well as a head., Nagel offers a rich portrait of the moody and anxiety-ridden Adams...This biography remov[es] the dust from his portrait and restor[es] the glow of historical significance to his splendid and troubled life., Nagel has set out to explore his hero's inner life...It is a story told largely from the vantage point of the subject., Nagel clearly knows his topic inside out, and his account of Adam's eventful life--from diplomat to professor to President--is eminently readable...This book is thoroughly engaging. We glimpse a side of Adams that he preferred to keep private: his eye for the ladies, his self-lacerating depressions, his contempt for what he referred to as the 'crazy' orations of Ralph Waldo Emerson...What emerges from Nagel's book is a more fully rounded character.

Synopsis
Adams was raised, educated, and groomed to be President. This polymath and troubled man, caught up in both a democratic age not to his understanding and the furies of passion, was an American lion in winter., John Quincy Adams was raised, educated, and groomed to be President, following in the footsteps of his father, John. At fourteen he was secretary to the Minister to Russia and, later, was himself Minister to the Netherlands and Prussia. He was U.S. Senator, Secretary of State, and then President for one ill-fated term. His private life showed a parallel descent. He was a poet, writer, critic, and Professor of Oratory at Harvard. He married a talented and engaging Southerner, but two of his three sons were disappointments. This polymath and troubled man, caught up in both a democratic age not to his understanding and the furies of passion, was an American lion in winter.

    item was exactly as described, but no thanks to the USPS for the two week delivery time for an item that was going less than 100 miles away. Seller gets a grade of AAA+++

    Item is in better condition than described, so it doesn't get any better than that. It got here fast, so what am I going to do except give the seller 100% 5 Star rating. Thank you very much for a great transaction.
