Presidential challengers - recs for John Quincy Adams?
I looked at the blog and there were 4 reviews of 2 books, and everyone seemed to have really enjoyed what they read. I know there are more than 4 of you that have read about JQA already, though. I need help choosing which to read. B&N has a 20% coupon today and I have a gift card, so I think I'll order tonight.
The two reviewed on the blog are JQA: A Public Life, A Private Life by Paul Nagel and JQA by Harlow Giles Unger. They're only about 50 pages different in length, so I can't justify falling back on length to pick one. I'm currently leaning toward Unger, just because it has a slightly higher GR rating and I've heard his name before. But the Nagel book seems like it goes into JQA's personal life a little more, and that's something I've found that I really enjoy in reading about in these biographies.
So, which one? Or if you read another JQA book, what was it and why did you like it?
