Henry Adams and the Making of America, by Garry Wills (Houghton Mifflin, 448 pp., $30)
OF great American books, Henry Adams's History of the United States of America During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (1889-91) is almost certainly the least read. The book's sheer mass terrifies: Originally published in nine volumes, it runs to some 2,700 pages in the two-volume Library of America edition. One doesn't read a book this thick unless someone authoritative tells one to, and the authorities have long had little or no use for the History.
