Jon Quincy Adams is the missing link.
With his signature dialogue and his close study of Adams' 51-volume diary, M. B. Zucker's The Middle Generation is both a political thriller, and a character piece on Adams, heir to one president by blood, and another, Washington, by ideology.
Readers will find that between the Revolution and emancipation lies an absorbing, yet overshadowed story of a new nation spearheading liberty's cause in a world skeptical of freedom in any form, much less in slaver's garb.
Through Adams’ eyes, readers will experience one of history's greatest and most forgotten crises: his showdown with Europe over South American independence, the conflict that prefigured the Monroe Doctrine, and further cemented America as a sovereign nation.
"M. B. Zucker goes well beyond a story of simple political intrigue. He offers one of the most moving literary portraits of a President I have ever encountered."
-Dr. Jeffery Tyler Syck, Author of The Revolution of 1828: John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and the Origins of American Democracy
