Psychobiography: On John Quincy Adams

John Quincy Adams was the last of his kind — a Puritan from the age of the Founders who despised party and compromise, yet dedicated himself to politics and government — and literally died in office, in the midst of a passionate debate.

A brilliant ambassador and secretary of state, he was a frustrated president at a historic turning point in American politics. Dr. Gail Saltz talks with scholar and journalist James Traub, author of John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit, to uncover the life and morals of a diplomat and president whose ideas remain with us today.
