A splendid biography. -- \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Few figures in American history have held as many roles in public life as John Quincy Adams. The son of John Adams, he was a brilliant ambassador and secretary of state, a frustrated president, and a dedicated congressman who staunchly opposed slavery. In John Quincy Adams, scholar and journalist James Traub draws on Adams's diaries, letters, and writings to evoke his numerous achievements-and failures-in office. A man of unwavering moral convictions, Adams is the father of foreign policy realism and one of the first proponents of the activist government. But John Quincy Adams is first and foremost the story of a brilliant, flinty, and unyielding man whose life exemplified admirable political courage.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Traub\u003c\/b\u003e has spent the last forty years as a journalist for American's leading publications, including the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
