Bookroo's summary

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, once friends, find themselves at odds as leaders of opposing political parties. Their rivalry escalates to the White House, testing their bond. Can they overcome their differences for the sake of friendship and the nation? Discover the humor and history behind their tumultuous relationship.

From the publisher

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were good friends with very different personalities. But their differing views on how to run the newly created United States turned them into the worst of friends. They each became leaders of opposing political parties, and their rivalry followed them to the White House. Full of both history and humor, this is the story of two of America’s most well-known presidents and how they learned to put their political differences aside for the sake of friendship.
