New York: The Free Press, 2002. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Very good/Good. [12], 244 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Some soiling and small scuffs to DJ and small creases to DJ edges. Richard Brookhiser (born February 23, 1955) is an American journalist, biographer and historian. He is a senior editor at National Review. He is most widely known for a series of biographies of America's founders, including The Adamses, Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and George Washington. He has written books that deal either with the nation's founding, or the principles of America's founders, including What Would the Founders Do?, a book describing how the Founding Fathers of the United States would approach topical issues that generate controversy in modern-day America. Brookhiser began writing for National Review in 1970. He earned an A.B. degree (1977) at Yale, Although admitted to Yale Law School, Brookhiser went to work full-time for National Review in 1977; by the time he was 23, he was a senior editor, the youngest in the magazine's history. He has written for a variety of magazines and newspapers. Brookhiser both wrote and hosted the documentary films Rediscovering George Washington, by Michael Pack, broadcast on PBS on July 4, 2002, and Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton, also by Pack, broadcast on PBS on April 11, 2011. His book Alexander Hamilton, American led to the "Alexander Hamilton: The Man Who Made Modern America" exhibition at The New-York Historical Society (2004-2005), for which he was the historian curator. There is some material on Theodore Roosevelt. The Adamses are the only family in American history to play a leading role in American affairs for nearly two centuries. Brookhiser focuses on John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Charles Francis Adams, and Henry Adams. Derived from a Kirkus review: A concise history of four famous men from the house of Adams. John (1735-1826), John Quincy (1767-1848), Charles Francis (1807-86), and Henry (1838-1918) were a prickly bunch who always maintained their sense of self-importance, even after they failed to realize their goals and the family started its long slump into obscurity. Their other shared trait, after all, was contrariness. John was in favor of a kingly presidency, but he despaired of George Washington's regal air even as he sought but failed to acquire it. Historian and journalist Brookhiser calls John the first loser in American presidential history, alienating so many during his single term that he couldn't get re-elected. John Quincy was a strident enemy of slavery not because he wanted to free slaves but because he believed that their masters wanted to lord it over free men as well. Charles Francis despised partisanship, yet he would have gotten nowhere if he hadn't hooked up with William Seward, who as Secretary of State made him ambassador to England. And Henry, who found post-Civil War politics vulgar, nonetheless moved to Washington and became a political journalist. Brookhiser is fascinated by the Adamses' tendency to play out in the public arena exploits that were really directed toward family members. John wanted to impress Samuel Adams. John Quincy had to impress his father. The work Charles Francis most appreciated was the editing of his father's diaries. And Henry could breathe a sigh of relief only after he wrote "Mont Saint Michel and Chartres" as a testament to his family's genius. One wishes that the female members of the tribe had received some attention here. They must have been impressive characters, or no Adams would have married them in the first place. Brookhiser elegantly undermines his subjects even as he sympathetically records their importance as a crucial link between Americans of several generations and their national past., The Free Press, 2002, 2.75<

Richard Brookhiser has won a wide and loyal following for his stylish, pointed, and elegant biographies of George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. In "America's First Dynasty," Brookhiser tells the story of America's longest and still greatest dynasty -- the Adamses, the only family in our history to play a leading role in American affairs for nearly two centuries. From John, the self-made, tough-minded lawyer who rose to the highest office in the government he helped create; to John Quincy, the child prodigy who grew up amid foreign royalty, followed his father to the White House, and later reinvented himself as a champion of liberty in Congress; to politician and writer Charles Francis, the only well-balanced Adams; to Henry, brilliant scholar and journalist -- the Adamses achieved longer-lasting greatness than any other American family. Brookhiser's canvass starts in colonial America, when John Adams had to teach himself the law and ride on horseback for miles to find clients. It does not end until after the "Titanic" sinks -- Henry had booked a room but changed his plans -- and World War I begins, with Henry near the action in France. The story of this single family offers a short course in the nation's history, because for nearly two hundred years Adams history was American history. The Adamses were accompanied by an impressive cast of characters, from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, to Andrew Jackson and Ulysses Grant, to Teddy Roosevelt. "America's First Dynasty" offers telling portraits of the great men of our past, and many of the women around them. John and Abigail's great love affair was destined to be repeated by their offspring and offspring's offspring. As with any family, there was a darker side to the Adams story: many of its members were abject failures. Alcoholism was a familiar specter, and suicide was not unknown. Only one of the four great Adamses was a kind man and father; the others set standards so impossibly high that few of their children could meet them. Yet despite more than a century of difference from John to Henry, certain Adams traits remained the same. In the story of our first and still-greatest family, we can all see something of our own struggles with family, fate, and history. Media >, [PU: Scribners]<
