David Kiesling's Reviews > John Adams

Just finished "John Adams" from The American Presidents series, this entry written by John Patrick Diggins. Very short book, only about 180 pages long, but the material is detailed and dense so I tried to take my time reading it. History tends to ignore or write off our second president, but after finishing this short treatment on Adams I realized how unfair that attitude towards him has been. He wasn't an "epic hero" president like Washington or Lincoln, but his contributions were extremely important to the founding of this country and much of what he thought, said, and wrote is still relevant in the present day.
