I read this in July 2012.  I really enjoyed the book.  John Adams had much integrity.  He avoided a war with France because it was the right thing to do, even though that is not what the people wanted.  He defended a British officer, even though everyone was very upset with the British.  He did it because it was the right thing to do.
