In 1782, Adams focused his energies on raising a loan from Dutch bankers and negotiating a Dutch-American commercial treaty. This volume chronicles his efforts to achieve these objectives, but also provides an unparalleled view of 18th-century American diplomacy on the eve of a peace settlement ending the eight-year war of the American Revolution.
