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 marriage to the wise and valiant Abigail Adams is one of the moving love stories in American history
