The second in command in any job gets neither the attention nor the respect that the chief does.
By virtue of their timing, the founders and those who came first tend to command the spotlight.
And yet, those who follow them do more than continue a legacy; they need to forge their own path and determine how to create something sustainable.
Lindsay M. Chervinsky, in her new book Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic, makes the case that without John Adams’ wisdom and good judgment, America as we know it might not have survived.
