By the standards that historians usually use to judge presidents,
John Quincy Adams was a failure. Although better qualified for the
office than any American of his generation, he served for only one
term and was unable to accomplish any of the most cherished goals
set forth so boldly at the beginning of his presidency. Yet John
Quincy Adams has not shared the fate of other presidential
"failures" that have faded almost entirely from the national
memory. This book provides a concise, synthetic biography of Adams
that seeks to integrate the themes of his life into an
understandable whole that explains both the successes and failures
of his extraordinary career. Using his published journals and
writings as basic sources, the book presents a succinct narrative
of Adams' career that draws upon the best scholarship on his life
and times.
