| Summary | Annotation <div>When John Quincy Adams—the sixty-three-year-old former president, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and diplomat—was elected to the House of Representatives by his Massachusetts neighbors, he embarked on a spectacular late-life career.<p>He became Congress’s most acerbic and influential critic of slavery as well as a tireless proponent for human freedoms and First Amendment rights. This remarkable congressional career utterly transformed him, the public’s perception of him, and his legacy—in many ways redeeming his failed presidency. <i>Mr. Adams’s Last Crusade</i> renders an insightful portrait of a man who placed his country above politics.</p></div> |
