Praise from David McCullough, author of John Adams:
"With interest in John Adams and his world growing steadily, 这个精彩的收藏品来得太及时,太受欢迎了. 作者都是该领域的一流学者,都有很多有价值的话要说. I found the book totally absorbing from start to finish."

John Adams, lawyer, congressman, diplomat, vice president, and president, 拥有美国革命一代中最多样化和最有成效的公共事业之一. His many achievements, 在20世纪的大部分时间里,它被认为是理所当然的,甚至被忽视了, 在过去的十年中,是否吸引了历史学家的热情关注, political scientists, and more gradually, the larger public. This collection of essays, the first ever published on the nation's second president, 包括对他的生活和事业的全面介绍,以及由几位主要权威人士对亚当斯及其时代的丰富遗产的九次探索. In assessing John Adams, the authors consider many topics that have seldom, if ever, been examined in any detail. These include Adams's choice of public role models in provincial Massachusetts; a comparison of Adams and Thomas Jefferson as young men; Adams's aggressive diplomacy in Europe; his frustrating experience as vice president; the intricacies of the election of 1796; Adams's thoughts on free speech; a detailed study of Abigail Adams as President Adams's most important advisor; the novelty of Adams's authorship of a history of his own public career; and a study of his magnum opus, 捍卫美利坚合众国的宪法. 这既是对约翰·亚当斯生平和事业的最方便的简要介绍,也是利记APP官网手机版这位革命领袖的唯一新学术文集, 这本书对于充分理解亚当斯在美国历史上的重要性是必不可少的.
