There's no better time than the present - as the US has now elected an enlightened and caring President and made history with its choice of Vice-President - to read this well-researched and very fair biography of John Adams, second President of the fledgling United States. It also offers a heightened awareness of the issues then and still with us and all those rights which, in the slightly more than two centuries that have passed, have been wilfully undermined, but, as we see today, not irretrievably.
