Book Review: John Quincy Adams, A Public Life, A Private Life

Book Review

John Quincy Adams, A Public Life, A Private Life
By Paul C. Nagel
New York, NY: Random House, 1997. 419pp.
I have always been interested in American Presidents so I picked up a copy of Paul Nagel's book on John Quincy Adams [A Public Life, A Private Life] in which Nagel does an excellent job of navigating through historical events and retelling the story on the life of one of America's early diplomatic leaders.

John Quincy Adams (1767 - 1848), served a commendable time in public service. Adams would served under the administrations of Presidents George Washington, his father President John Adams as well as James Madison,  and James Monroe.
