About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating life of John Adams, then pay attention....

John Adams once wrote, “People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity.” That was very much Adams’ experience. Although he was often maligned, he didn’t deserve it. Having been born in the English colony of Massachusetts in 1735, he not only witnessed a new nation emerging from the shell of infancy, but he also participated in its growing pains. Adams was a man who was frequently asked to assume roles in which he had little experience, like that of a diplomat to France and England. In a sense, he was a part of the vanguard that the government had thrown into the fray.

But why would the government choose him to represent their interests? Perhaps the main reason was that John Adams was a lawyer and understood the legal significance of treaties and agreements. He was also a simple and objective man who knew how to get to the heart of an issue in quick order.

In John Adams: A Captivating Guide to an American Founding Father Who Served as the Second President of the United States of America, you will discover topics such as:

  • John Adams: political activist
  • From counsel to patriot

A dazzling and expertly investigated audible from the author who makes you feel that you’re walking every step of the life of the great man John Adams. Whereas there is hardly too much force on the lives and actions of his family and fellow politicians there is no doubt this is a very classic political biography that explains the amazing and brave lives these USA forefathers led.
