Reviews
A highly readable and insightful biography of John Quincy Adams, a complex, brilliant, and often contentious and cantankerous man., "A highly readable and insightful biography of John Quincy Adams, a complex, brilliant, and often contentious and cantankerous man." --James Roger Sharp, Syracuse University "The most impressive single volume to date on the foreign policies of John Quincy Adams. It is a succinct but comprehensive account of one of America's most distinguished diplomatists. Lews presents Adams's failures as well as his successes, his shortcomings as well as his virtues, while observing the consistency of a statesman whose devotion to a strong union never wavered in the face of changing political environments." --Lawrence S. Kaplan, emeritus director, Lyman L. Lemnitzer Center for NATO and European Union Studies "This book should be required reading not only for students of early American diplomatic history, but for anyone interested in the political history of the United States in its formative decades." --Peter S.

Synopsis
This new book focuses on John Quincy Adams's extensive role in foreign policy, including his years as secretary of state and as president. Brief but thorough, John Quincy Adams: Policymaker for the Union analyzes Adams's foreign policy accomplishments during key moments in American history, including the Rush-Bagot Agreement, the Transcontinental Treaty, the recognition of the Spanish-American republics, and the Monroe Doctrine. At the same time, the book shows that Adams was far less successful than many historians suggest. John Quincy Adams: Policymaker for the Union focuses on Adams's ideals of the centrality of the union to American happiness, the necessity of federal action to protect the union, and the indivisibility of foreign and domestic concerns. This book's examination of these three points casts new light on the logic behind many of Adams's accomplishments and also exposes the sources of some of his failures. This is the first study to examine how Adams's views ultimately led to his failure as a policymaker. This book is ideal for courses in diplomatic history, American history, and American political history., This new book focuses on John Quincy Adams's extensive role in foreign policy, including his years as secretary of state and as president.

- u***n (1401)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe magazine arrived in the mail quickly with tracking by USPS. The item was shipped in corregated cardboard surrounded by cardboard protected by a plastic sleeve. The item was as described. An excellent value for a vintage item.
- v***4 (136)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufPurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.(D) #56W - Williams 43471 O Gauge Custom Pullman 60 Ft.
