Passionate Sage by Joseph J. Ellis
The Character and Legacy of John Adams
A concise portrait of John Adams that probes how his combative temperament, moral seriousness, and fierce intellect shaped his public career—from Revolutionary advocate and diplomat to president—and left a complicated legacy in American political life; drawing on letters and political episodes, the book reassesses his clashes with contemporaries, his commitment to principle over popularity, and the private partnership that tempered his passions while defining his contribution to the republic.
