Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S. Wood

3.0

Very controversial ending of the book, “This is why we honor Jefferson and not Adams” I couldn’t believe that he choose to end the book like that especially because this book is a monument to his character and derivation to our nation.

I also wish that he had focused more on the reasons that they were such good friends, he decided to not include stories of their trips together in Europe and such.

He also included some legends that helped illustrate his point while not addressing other more famous ones such as president Jefferson’s dying mention of Adam’s.

Over all very good
