About This Item
New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House, 1970. Second Printing [stated]. Hardcover. Good. vii, [1], 437. [3] pages. Selected Bibliography. Notes. Index. This is one of the Architects of Freedom series. Previous owners bookplate on fep. Anne Husted Burleigh is a free-lance writer. She has written two books: John Adams, a Biography, and Journey up the River: a Midwesterner's Spiritual Pilgrimage. She has contributed to many publications, including Crisis and Magnificat. The rare man who can sift the unchanging out of a constantly changing world is a man for the ages. John Adams, philosopher of the Revolution and early America, and participant in many of the major events of that period, strove to find universal patterns in the lives of all men. Because the principles of politics and human nature that he delineated are still relevant, Adams correctly shares a place as one of America's outstanding political thinkers. Burleigh gives us a warm, sensitive study of John Adams in the many roles he played during his eventful life: student, lawyer, polemicist, Founding Father, diplomat, President, husband, father. His own brilliance and the events of the times in which he lived combined to offer him the knowledge and fame he sought. Her introduction explains our continuing interest in this central figure of the early years of the American Republic.
