Opis

John Quincy Adams is regarded as one of the greatest diplomats and secretaries of state in U.S. history. He shaped America's foreign policy in line with his nationalist leanings, modernized the U.S. economy, was a strong opponent of slavery, and involved himself with many international treaties.

These memoirs, distilled from a wealth of material that includes private and public papers, are edited by his son Charles Francis Adams. They provide an unrivalled window on events during the presidency, casting light on the motivation behind his actions. The complete set is now very rare and this edition, with a new introduction by a leading contemporary scholar, will be welcomed all those with an interest in U.S. political and constitutional history, U.S. foreign policy, slavery, and in John Quincy Adams and his times.
