John Adams by Page Smith
A vivid, readable biography that traces the life of one of America’s Founding Fathers from his New England upbringing and legal career through his central role in the Revolution, diplomatic service in Europe, contentious presidency, and later reconciliation with former rivals. The book portrays him as a principled, often stubborn thinker whose devotion to law, republican government, and his wife Abigail shaped both public policy and private life, and it draws on letters and documents to present an intimate, often ironic portrait of his strengths and flaws. It emphasizes his contributions to independence, his fraught relations with contemporaries, and the costs of political conviction in a fractious young republic.
