Democracy by Henry Adams
The great grandson of our second President and grandson of John Quincy Adams fillets the carcass of the debased politics of the Gilded Age with wit and insight. With the comic sensitivity of Pride and Prejudice combined with a cold and unyielding contempt for the foibles and failings of ambition without honor superior to Gore Vidal, Adams neglected (if not forgotten) novel reveals the fragile if enduring promise of our tottering republic.
