John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit

submitted by Marvin's Underground Evening Lectures on 10/11/18 1

John Quincy Adams, the son of John Adams, was a brilliant ambassador and Secretary of State, a frustrated President at a historic turning point in American politics, and a dedicated congressman who literally died in office—at the age of 80, in the House of Representatives, in the midst of an impassioned political debate. James Traub draws on Adams’s diary, letters, and writings to evoke a diplomat and President whose ideas remain with us today. A book signing follows the program.
