This autobiography was immediately hailed as a masterpiece upon publication and has even been called the greatest nonfiction book ever written. Henry Adams, whose great-grandfather and grandfather were both U.S. presidents, fills his story with one unforgettably brilliant observation after another. Filled with uncommon wisdom, this book also serves as a thoughtful history of 19th-century America.

This biography is fascinating because Henry Adams knew so many people in different administrations in the U.S. and in Europe over many decades. His friendship with John Hay, Seward, and others in the Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt administrations is interesting. Adams was very well-read and a very deep thinker.

A very interesting and unique autobiography
