Title: Long on introspection...short on context
Review: Nagel's biography was written specifically with the knowledge that there already existed a length 2 volume treatment on Adams by Samual Flagg Bemis. Bemis's work, in Nagel's mind, was as good a treatment on the substantive work and the historical background of his times as we were to get. Therefore, he focuses on Adams' personality. I wished that he would have talked more about the issues of the day and gone into the political background for Adams' decisions more. Other than that, it is a very solid biography of an American statesman who will be more remembered as a great diplomat and Congressman passionately opposed to slavery than as a President.
