Book Description
A vivid portrait of a man whose pre- and post-presidential careers overshadowed his presidency.Chosen by the House of Representatives after an inconclusive election against Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams often failed to mesh with the ethos of his era, pushing unsuccessfully for a strong, consolidated national government. Historian Robert V. Remini recounts how in the years before his presidency Adams was a shrewd, influential diplomat, and later, as a dynamic secretary of state under President James Monroe, he solidified many basic aspects of American foreign policy, including the Monroe Doctrine. Undoubtedly his greatest triumph was the negotiation of the Transcontinental Treaty, through which Spain acknowledged Florida to be part of the United States. After his term in office, he earned the nickname "Old Man Eloquent" for his passionate antislavery speeches.

Some favoritism for Jackson.......2007-09-01
The author is best known as the biographer of Jackson, so understandably he shows some favoritism for Jackson.
He covers the essentials of JQA's life but very briefly as intended. The book serves its purpose as a concise biography of a president whose life was intimately connected with the history of the first six decades of the United States.
Brief And Illuminating.......2007-04-13
First off, I am a real fan of this American Presidents Series of books. Each runs about 150 pages in length and can be easily finished in a few days by even the most time-constrained reader. This series is a godsend for those of us who buy 600-page biographical tomes with the best of intentions, then abandon them 100 pages in (albeit with extensive knowledge of the subject's family tree and childhood.) Robert Remini's biography "John Quincy Adams" strikes a great balance between illumination and brevity.
I became interested in John Quincy Adams after reading the chapter JFK devoted to him in "Profiles in Courage" and being struck by such an accomplished man continuing to harbor so many self-doubts. Remini's biography offers ample explanation for this. Driven hard by his family to excel (his father becoming, of course, the second President of the United States), the bar for perceived success was very high. As well, depression seemed to be a family trait, with many members touched by alcoholism or suicide, including two of JQA's own sons.
Remini does an excellent job describing the grueling regimen of study the young JQA followed and the high expectations the family placed on him. By his early teens, JQA was proficient in several languages and, amazingly, his fluency in French at age 14 was such that he was asked to serve as a translator for US diplomats in the Russian courts.
It can be shocking to read comments made by our leaders of the time, particularly statements regarding American Indians. The reader is reminded just how different was that era and how much things have changed in the intervening 200 years. One thing which has not changed is dirty political campaigning. In fact, the fallout from JQA's election in 1824 and the campaign of 1828 seem to mark a transition from the civil presidential elections of the nation's early years to the adversarial style still with us today.
As a politician, Adams was horrible. He had zero interest in playing the game, even to the point of refusing to campaign. "War meetings or committee meetings of both parties [occurred] every day of the week. It is so in every part of the Union. A stranger would think that the people of the United States have no other occupation than electioneering." That sounds like he spent an evening watching modern day cable news networks.
Heavy-duty readers of American history may find this book (and the others in the series) too concise, but then they are not the primary target audience. As for me, I learned a great deal about John Quincy Adams and his era without a burdensome commitment of time -- precisely what I sought.
Great read.......2007-01-10
There are many historic books on presidents. The American President Series is a great text for those who are interested in reading a brief summary of the presidents' lives. Many texts are too in depth for casual reading, but this series is excellent for those of us who are not die-hard historians or history experts. The author of this text has written a brilliant book on John Q. His writing style is wonderful and made it hard for me to put the book down. I was so impressed by his writing style that I have been searching for more books by him. This text and author is great and a must read.
Disappointing book written by a sermonizing bore.......2006-08-13
This book was so poorly written that I cancelled my order for "The Life of Andrew Jackson" by the same author and ordered the Jackson biography by H.W. Brands instead (happily, the Brands book proved to be excellent).
While Remini's writing is pedestrian and his explanation of some historical events surprisingly shallow, it is the author's bigoted sermonizing that rankles most. The deficient history includes glossing over British grievances that led to impressment and forgetting to explain that Madison's invasion of Canada sparked the War of 1812. An excellent overview of these and other issues mischaracterized by the author is provided by Garry Wills in his biography of the lackluster James Madison in the fourth book in the American Presidents series or by H.W. Brands in his biography on Andrew Jackson.
Yet it is the author's lectures and rants against the formidable Abigail Adams that is most embarrassing to read. If I were to write this book review just as the author wrote his passages on Abigail, it would read like this: "Likely, Professor Remini's hostility towards his own mother produced severe misogyny, which led him to denounce Abigail Adams as a proxy for his hated mother."
Obviously, the above passage is beyond the bounds of scholarship so I wonder why Remini engaged in it. In addition to bloated sermons, Remini wielded tools of subtle bigotry against Abigail. For example, most scholars of this era recognize that it was set in a period before standardized English, which is why Washington and Jefferson spell the same words differently in different letters. For example, on p. 561 of his Jackson biography, H. W. Brands writes: "In...quotations, spelling and punctuation have been corrected...to do justice to the authors of the quotations, who lived before spelling became standardized." While Remini adheres to the principle of standardizing the spelling of letters, in the first half of his book, he makes an exception for those written by Abigail. Is it misogyny that impels him to quote her letters without standardization and then type "[sic]" after words that are "misspelled" according to later dictionaries?
When Abigail died in 1818, the author writes on p. 54: "JQA did not return home to comfort his mother during her illness nor did he attend her funeral....it was another mark of resentment toward his mother's 'dominating ways.'" This stark fact is meant to contrast with his father's death in 1826: "When John Quincy received word of his father's failing health and the fact that he might succumb at any moment he sped away to get home in time." Unfortunately, both accounts egregiously misrepresent the facts.
By contrast, here is David McCullough's take on Abigail's death on p. 623 of "John Adams": A "letter warning John Quincy to be prepared for the worst had not reached Washington until the day before his mother's death, and it was not until the day after her funeral that he learned she was gone. [JQA wrote:] 'the tenderest and most affectionate of mothers....My mother...was a minister of blessing to all human beings within her sphere of action....She had no feelings but of kindness and beneficence.... She...has been to me more than a mother. She has been a spirit from above watching over me for good....'"
Meanwhile, Remini's misrepresentation of his father's death clashes with the facts (i.e. Remini writes that upon being notified "[JQA] sped away to get home in time"). Here is McCullough on p. 647: "Not until Sunday, July 9, after receiving several urgent messages from home, did John Quincy start north by coach, accompanied by young John, and it was later that day, near Baltimore, that he learned of his father's death." Why didn't Remini write that JQA missed his father's funeral just as he had his mother's if not to intentionally deceive the reader in order to forward the author's thesis of hatred against the mother? Meanwhile, Remini does not explain that a trip home may cost two weeks time over poorly constructed roads and instead implies to the reader that JQA should have just hopped on Air Force One and sped home in a matter of minutes.
Once the mother expires, Remini gets down to the task of actually writing a biography. While the second half of the book is worth reading, too much trust has been squandered. Occasional authorial intrusions remind the reader that this author cannot be trusted so the entire book becomes suspect.
I could provide many more examples but this book is not worth the time. An accomplished historian would drench the reader in the era under examination, present a multiplicity of facts and viewpoints, and allow the reader to make his own judgment. An author of a short biography would provide facts, succinctly explain issues, and leave the reader with a greater understanding of the era and perhaps a yearning to learn more. By contrast Remini obfuscates details and offers unlikely psychological speculations while boring the reader like a preacher imprisoning his flock for an all-day sermon.
Remini is renowned for his multi-volume Pulitzer Prize-winning biography on Andrew Jackson. Assuming that his book deserves the acclaim, a subject I will never have an opinion on for I will not read another book by this author, a possible explanation for his shoddy scholarship in JQA is that Remini did not respect the readers of this series. He rushed off a poorly-researched manuscript because he believed that the readers of these abridged books on the presidents are not serious scholars; rather he dismisses them as ignoramuses who may be manipulated and confused for sport in return for a quick paycheck. Obviously, this is speculation but since that is all the author offered when writing JQA's biography, it is all the review is worth giving.
If you are interested in a book on John Quincy Adams, I recommend David McCullough's tome on John Adams, which delves into the father, mother, and the son. It explains the era, the issues, and the personalities and it is further recommended because it is not written by an author who appears, on the basis of this book, to be a bigot.
Not the best president, but important........2005-06-11
John Quincy Adams was one of the smartest and most educated men to serve as president. With all that intelligence, he really stunk up the White House. Remini points out how absolutely blind and deaf JQA was to politics. He would not campaign in even minor ways or do anything to help his chances for political success. Perhaps we could use more of that in today's world, but at the same time, politics is politics. If one truly believes in the importance of long term planning and success, he or she must be willing to make some short term sacrifices. With all that said, JQA's secretary of state years under President Monroe were incredibly successful. JQA practically created the Monroe Doctrine and made the case that sometimes preemptive action is necessary. Samuel Flagg Bemis is apparently the expert historian on JQA's State Department years, and Remini relies on his work for that chapter. John Lewis Gaddis also made use of John Quincy Adams's leadership of the State Department in a comparative look at grand strategies, along with FDR and GWB.
The book is interesting, short, and well-written. Little more can be asked for.
Book Description
Until recently rescued by David McCullough, John Adams has always been overshadowed by Washington and Jefferson. Volatile, impulsive, irritable, and self-pitying, Adams seemed temperamentally unsuited for the presidency. Yet in many ways he was the perfect successor to Washington in terms of ability, experience, and popularity. Possessed of a far-ranging intelligence, Adams took office amid the birth of the government and multiple crises. Besides maintaining neutrality and regaining peace, his administration created the Department of the Navy, put the army on a surer footing, and left a solvent treasury. One of his shrewdest acts was surely the appointment of moderate Federalist John Marshall as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Though he was a Federalist, he sought to work outside the still-forming party system. In the end, this would be Adams's greatest failing and most useful lesson to later leaders.

A decent overview of his ideas, theories, and presidential policies........2006-05-15
This isn't much of a biography. It gives just a quick history of Mr. Adams early life. It mainly focuses on his political and philosophical career and his feuds with Jefferson and Hamilton. It does a good job of reviewing his term as second president and the policies and precedents he initiated. This book may be a stepping stone to a more comprehensive analysis of Mr. Adams's personal and political life.
A fascinating discusion of Adam's thought and life.......2004-07-31
It hasn't been hard to notice that John Adams's reputation has been undergoing a serious rehabilitation in recent years. Joseph Ellis in particular has been dedicated to revising our understandings of both Adams and his nemesis/friend Thomas Jefferson. In his PASSIONATE SAGE: THE CHARACTER AND LEGACY OF JOHN ADAMS, FOUNDING BROTHERS: THE REVOLUTIONARY GENERATION, and AMERICAN SPHINX: THE CHARACTER OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, Ellis has been challenging a long established scenario in which the arch conservative John Adams was pitted against the populist liberal Thomas Jefferson for the political destiny of America, and the hero Jefferson triumphed over the mildly villainous Adams. Ellis has been questioning whether any part of this scenario makes any sense, whether Adams is at all a villain, and whether Jefferson is nearly as heroic. He has done this not by asserting the virtues of conservativism, but whether Adams has been correctly understood at all, both by his contemporaries and by subsequent generations. This reevaluation of Adams was continued by the spectacular and unanticipated mega-bestseller by David McCullough of 2001. This process of reassessment is clearly carried forward by John Patrick Diggins. For the record, I find the rehabilitation of Adams by these and other writers to be both welcome and highly convincing.
For two hundred years, our view of Adams came very much through the lenses of his critics and opponents. The truism that history is written from the standpoint of the victors is perhaps truer of Adams than any other major political figure in United States history. Adams was said to be a closet monarchist, a favorer of aristocracy. In the face of this criticism, Adams explicitly challenged Jefferson to point to a single passage in any of his writings that endorses monarchy or aristocracy. In fact, if one reads extensively in Adams works, as argued by Ellis, Diggins, and McCullough, one finds instead a powerful and subtle critique of the dangers of the development and influence of an economic elite, placing him at the opposite extreme of Alexander Hamilton, whose ideal of government came very close to the espousal of plutocracy. Adams did hope for the emergence of natural elites, but this was based on ability and character, not on wealth. Contained in the reassessment of Adams is implied a questioning of whether Adams is the arch conservative he is often portrayed as being. The case for Adams's conservativism is based largely on his belief in monarchism, his favoring aristocracy, his support for a bicameral Congress, his looking to the past for guidance, and his opposition to the French Revolution. As these authors have shown, Adams transparently did not favor monarchy or the growth of an aristocratic class and a bicameral legislature in the United States has not resulted in the Senate being a sort of House of Lords. Today many leftist historians have found grounds for critiquing the French Revolution, and a host of leftist political figures have found inspiration for their beliefs in the past (not least Karl Marx, who was a student of the Greeks and Romans). Furthermore, Adams was hardly a passionate capitalist, and was suspicious of a life devoted to the acquisition of wealth. In fact, if you compare Adams and Jefferson to that modern conservative icon Ronald Reagan, it is hard to find many issues that Adams would not differ sharply on from Reagan, while one can see a number of points of contact between Adams and Reagan. Diggins, in fact, finds numerous points of contact between Adams's political writings and many French radical writers of the late 20th century. I will say that as a leftist myself, I find much to love in Adams's thought. I share his fear of the negative effects that economic elites have on the democratic process, his belief in the need for a strong central government to protect citizens from the pernicious influence of greed (Adams would understand my fear of deregulation), and his instincts that government rather than less or no government is a better safeguard of individual liberty. Diggins rightly states that the American president who would most closely incarnate Adams's principles would be Teddy Roosevelt, who envisioned government as the means of breaking trusts and promoting economic justice.
Of all the books in the Schlesinger series on the American presidents, this is probably the one that I found most provocative intellectually. It is a dense, rich book, in large part because Diggins focuses more on the thought of Adams than his life. Diggins is more intent on explaining Adams ideas than the various events in his life. In one sense this is a weakness as a biography, but because his discussion of Adams's ideas is so clear and interesting, it more than makes up for the lack of biographical detail. I do regret some of the sketchiness of the biographical narrative. For instance, he doesn't' deal in any detail on how Adams became either vice president or president. This contrasts sharply with the rather deep discussion of Adams's ideas. This is in line with Diggins's role as apologist for Adams. On the purely historical side, most of Diggins's effort is put into dispelling the myth that the election of 1800 represented the defeat of Federalism by Republicanism (that's Jeffersonian Republicanism, not what we associate today with the GOP). I personally found this section less interesting that the sections dealing with Adams's thought.
I would strongly encourage anyone reading this volume to consider picking up the new volume THE PORTABLE JOHN ADAMS, edited by Diggins. I completely agree with Diggins that Adams's writings are more interesting than his presidency, and that he may be the most unjustly neglected political writer in American history. This new volume contains a wide ranging collection of his writings, not merely from his theoretical writings, but his diaries and letters as well.
Great short analytical "biography".......2003-10-09
To start with and to avoid disappointment for those looking for something other than what this is, some of the trade reviews are just plain wrong: this is not a biography focusing on Adams childhood and youth. In fact, it isn't really a biography at all. What it is is a short, to the point but nevertheless fairly deep analysis of Adams' political thought with a particular emphasis on the politics of his presidential administration. It is written from a very positive view point (one shared by David McCullough) and from a view point that is quite hostile to Thomas Jefferson. As such it is an invaluable read for anyone interested in the development of presidential politics in America as well as anyone seeking the "rest of the story" regarding Adams, Jefferson, and their relationship.
Book Description
The administration of John Adams was a period of rapid change, internal discord, and the continual threat of war. Few of the nation's chief executives have been subjected to such immediate and ever-present danger of foreign involvement and national destruction, to such bitter animosities and serious cleavages within their administrations, or to such constant need for decision making as was John Adams. In the face of such adversity Adams successfully pursued a policy of neutrality and consiliation and, in so doing, provided time for the country to grow strong and to prosper. Yet, despite the seriousness of the country's problems and the contributions of his administration, he is seldom designated as one of the great American presidents.
In this volume, Ralph Adams Brown presents a new evaluation of John Adams and of his four years in the presidency. The portrait drawn by Adams's enemies disappears and the second president emerges as a world citizen whose insight, judgment, and perseverance held the young nation together in a critical period. Brown focuses closely on the most significant aspect of Adams's presidency, foreign affairs. He examines the country's increasing concern with matters of defense and Adams's successful efforts to evade foreign entanglements.
Describing the vicious personal attacks to which Adams was subjected, and the devious and disloyal maneuvers of his cabinet members, Brown traces Adams's difficulties with Timothy Pickering, James McHenry, Oliver Wolcott, Jr., Alexander Hamilton, and others. He documents Adams's steadfastness to his ideals and principles, despite the hostility, exaggerated accusations, and perfidy that surrounded him.
This book is part of the American Presidency Series.

Displays John Adams as he really was, a great president.......2001-08-12
All U.S. presidents must confront and solve problems, some more unique than others. There are a few whose difficulties are unprecedented and will never recur again. John Adams was such a president and his effectiveness as a chief executive is often underestimated. When he took the oath of office, the nation was still young and in many ways not yet a nation. Regional differences, which sixty years later would explode into civil war, were powerful and could have led to a similar event during his administration. The governmental structure was idealistic, novel and untested. There were many who felt that it was unworkable, and with minimal communication infrastructure, it was difficult for the central government to project its' power quickly and effectively.
The framers of this government were highly talented, ambitious men, who were now faced with the task of governing. As history has shown us so many times, the talented revolutionary is often mediocre at governing. Political parties began to form and like all births, involved a great deal of fits and starts. George Washington commanded such respect that no one could reasonably hope to challenge his authority, and yet he was wore down by the political battles. Succeeding such a towering figure would have been difficult for anyone. Europe was also currently engaged in a general war as a consequence of the revolution in France, and there were strong forces driving the United States towards involvement.
Into this horrendous mix of conflicting forces, John Adams became president. There is no question that the crises he faced rank in the top five of all presidents. Forced to face and solve these problems, he performed admirably. There is no more telling measures of his success in that he angered many in both parties and one of his strongest enemies, Thomas Jefferson, continued his policies when he succeeded Adams.
Brown does an outstanding job of describing these circumstances, for without this knowledge it is impossible to understand how successful Adams was. He also describes many of the details of John Adams' relationship with his wife Abigail. Although the times dictated that women play secondary roles in society, it is clear that many women wielded substantial power behind the scenes, if only to provide the strength for her husband to do what was right. After reading this book, you cannot help but be impressed with the power and intelligence of Abigail Adams, one of the most talented first spouses that this country has ever had.
This book serves a necessary and overdue purpose. It shows John Adams as more than just an adequate successor to Washington, but as a president who stood firm and always placed the interests of the nation first. He was a great man, showing that many of the men who made the American revolution were also, and perhaps even more skilled, at making and executing a government. I will forever be in awe of their political genius.

Abigail Adams Is An American Heroine.......2006-08-31
I think everyone should know about this incredible woman and this biography is a good place to start. Everyone is always talking about (and writing about) the fathers of the country. What about the mothers of the country? Charles Akers does a good job of bringing Abagail alive.
Boring.......2004-09-20
I question whether it's Abigail's life or the writing of it that had me so bored I was looking around for a sharp object to end my misery. This was required reading for a history class. I have never read Adams' letters, so I can't say whether this accurately depicts her life from her letters. I can only say that I have no interest in reading her letters after this.
Let me sum up the book for you: Abigail married Adams. She wrote lots of letters. She had lots of babies. She worried about her babies. She worried about Adams. She worried about morality. She believed women should be educated. She got sick a lot and was medically "bled" a lot. She was alone a lot. She died.
Adverage Read with Interesting Facts.......2001-09-13
Akers does a great job of placing the information from Abigail's letters into a story, without directly quoting the letters line by line. A story is presented to the reader through the eyes of the First Lady. It was a required text for an American History class, though I did enjoy reading it. The story itself; however, can be deeply depressing while still communicating the accounts of the famous political family. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about the other side of politics.

A Great Book about the Bloody Past!.......2007-04-16
Good solid Text about the birth of Modern Europe and the Warlords who kept a very rough peace in order for it to grow. Great Pictures by the Wizard Angus McBride! A good buy in my humble opinion.
Just makes it up as he goes along..........2004-01-19
Tim Newark knows very little about the periods he writes on. His cheek is astounding. This work is actualy one of his better efforts and it's still awful! The only reason It gets 2 stars is I like the Mcbride illustrations. Why do people keep buying this guy's rubbish? Riddled with errors, generalisations, myths etc. Stay away from this and anything else he writes!
The stories of those that we don't usually hear about.......2002-10-14
This book is a wonderfully engaging history of the more colourful characters through history. He touches on the real reasons that Rome conquered the Celtic realms, and why they were
beaten by the germanic tribes eventually. He has chapters on pretty much every proto-civilisation around europe and the middle east that had a battle-oriented society.
He also tells a more complete and truthful story of specific warlords (like Arthur of Wales, and William Wallis) that are quite different to the Hollywood versions!
There are some wonderful illustrations throughout the book, done by Angus Mc Bride, that are some of the most accurate and realistic interpretations of our knowledge of clothing, weapons and armour of the time.
One of my favourite history books.
Informative and entertaining..........2000-04-17
This book is actually three previous books by this author combined into a single volume... Mr. Newark has studied his subject well and presents the history of each era in a coherent and interesting fashion... Most of the names in the book, with a few exceptions, wil not be familiar to the average reader, for this is not about the kings and emperors of those days, but about those who truly ruled in those turbulent times. The book is profusely illustrated by drawings dating from roughly Victorian England back to the periods under discussion, along with photos of archological finds, plus color section done by an excellent historical artist, Angus McBride. For the person interested in these periods of history, this book is well worth the money....
