Regarded as one of the greatest  diplomats and Secretaries of State in US history, he shaped America's  foreign policy, modernized the US economy and was a strong opponent of  slavery. These memoirs, distilled from a wealth of material that  includes private and public papers, were edited by his son Charles  Francis Adams and were first published in the 1870s. They provide an unrivaled window on events during John  Quincy Adams' presidency as well as word sketches on key European capitals; reflections on such issues as the origins of party political conflict, the birth of modern politics, diplomacy, the rise of political anti-slavery; and vivid portraits of  his political contemporaries, including Andrew  Jackson, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and James Monroe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original edition of 12 volumes is now very rare and has never before been reprinted in its entirety.  This edition, with a new introduction by William J.  Cooper, is a valuable resource for all students and scholars of US  political and constitutional history, US foreign policy, slavery, and of  Quincy Adams and his times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781784535476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Multiple copy pack","offer_id":40721814421710,"sku":"9781784535476","price":1630.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781784535476","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
