Publisher's Summary
Exploring America as both a success and a failure, contradiction was the very impetus that compelled Adams to write Education, in which he was also able to voice his deep skepticism about mankind's power to control the direction of history. Written with immense wit and irony, reassembling the past while glimpsing the future, Adams' vision expresses what Henry James declared the "complex fate" to be an American. Today, it remains one of the most compelling works of American autobiography.

Important book worth reading
Perspective is what is - but a book written with awareness of its limitations can provide great insight into the time and experiences of a singularly placed individual such as Henry Adams
