John Quincy Adams by James Traub
Militant Spirit
Traces the sixth U.S. president’s path from precocious diplomat and shaper of American foreign policy to embattled chief executive and, later, a fierce congressional opponent of slavery. Through a portrait of a stern, principled, and intellectually restless public servant, it highlights how his greatest impact came after the presidency, when his moral convictions and tenacity helped redefine the nation’s political conscience.
