Specificatii
America goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy--John
Quincy Adams's famous words are often quoted to justify
noninterference in other nations' affairs. Yet when he spoke them,
Adams was not advocating neutrality or passivity but rather
outlining a national policy that balanced democratic idealism with
a pragmatic understanding of the young republic's capabilities and
limitations. America's rise from a confederation of revolutionary
colonies to a world power is often treated as inevitable, but
Charles N. Edel's provocative biography of Adams argues that he
served as the central architect of a grand strategy that shaped
America's rise. Adams's particular combination of ideas and
policies made him a critical link between the founding generation
and the Civil War-era nation of Lincoln.Examining Adams's service
as senator, diplomat, secretary of state, president, and
congressman, Edel's study of this extraordinary figure reveals a
brilliant but stubborn man who was both visionary prophet and
hard-nosed politician. Adams's ambitions on behalf of America's
interests, combined with a shrewd understanding of how to counter
the threats arrayed against them, allowed him to craft a
multitiered policy to insulate the nation from European quarrels,
expand U.S. territory, harness natural resources, develop domestic
infrastructure, education, and commerce, and transform the United
States into a model of progress and liberty respected throughout
the world.While Adams did not live to see all of his strategy
fulfilled, his vision shaped the nation's agenda for decades
afterward and continues to resonate as America pursues its place in
the twenty-first-century world.
