In this powerful, epic biography, David McCullough unfolds
the adventurous life-journey of John Adams, the brilliant,
fiercely independent, often irascible, always honest Yankee
patriot
—
the colossus of independence, as Thomas Jefferson
called him
—
who spared nothing in his zeal for the American
Revolution; who rose to become the second President of the
United States and saved the country from blundering into an
unnecessary war; who was learned beyond all but a few and
regarded by some as out of his senses ; and whose mar¬
riage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the
moving love stories in American history.
Like his masterly, Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Truman,
David McCullough s John Adams has the sweep and vitality
of a great novel. It is both a riveting portrait of an abundantly
human man and a vivid evocation of his time, much of it
drawn from an outstanding collection of Adams family letters
and diaries. In particular, the more than one thousand surviv¬
ing letters between John and Abigail Adams, nearly half of
which have never been published, provide extraordinary
access to their private lives and make it possible to know
John Adams as no other major American of his founding era.
As he has with stunning effect in his previous books,
McCullough tells the story from within
—
from the point
of view of the amazing eighteenth century and of those
who, caught up in events, had no sure way of knowing how
things would turn out. George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin, John Jay, the British spy Edward Bancroft, Madame
Lafayette and Jefferson s Paris interest Maria Cosway,
Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, the scandalmonger
James Callender, Sally Hemings, John Marshall, Talleyrand,
and Aaron Burr all figure in this panoramic chronicle, as
does, importantly, John Quincy Adams, the adored son
whom Adams would live to see become President.
Crucial to the story, as it was to history, is the relationship
between Adams and Jefferson, born opposites
—
one a
Massachusetts farmer s son, the other a Virginia aristocrat
and
slavemaster,
one short and stout, the other tall and
spare. Adams embraced conflict; Jefferson avoided it. Adams
had great humor; Jefferson, very little. But they were alike
in their devotion to their country.

At first they were ardent co-revolutionaries, then fellow
diplomats and close friends. With the advent of the two
political parties, they became archrivals, even enemies, in
the intense struggle for the presidency in
1800,
perhaps the
most vicious election in history. Then, amazingly, they became
friends again, and ultimately, incredibly, they died on the
same day
—
their day of days
—
July
4,
in the year
1826.
Much about John Adams s life will come as a surprise
to many readers. His courageous voyage to France on the
frigate Boston in the winter of
1778
and his later trek over the
Pyrenees are exploits that few would have dared and that few
readers will ever forget.
It is a life encompassing a huge arc
—
Adams lived
longer than any president. The story ranges from the Boston
Massacre to Philadelphia in
1776
to the Versailles of Louis
XVI,
from Spain to Amsterdam, from the Court of St.
James s, where Adams was the first American to stand
before King George III as a representative of the new nation,
to the raw, half-finished Capital by the Potomac, where
Adams was the first President to occupy the White House.
This is history on a grand scale
—
a book about politics and
war and social issues, but also about human nature, love, reli¬
gious faith, virtue, ambition, friendship and betrayal, and the
far-reaching consequences of noble ideas. Above all, John
Adams is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the
most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.
