Benjamin Franklin and the Birth of America: Franklin's French Adventure 1776-85
Stacy Schiff
Six months after America declared her independence, Congress dispatched Benjamin Franklin to France to solicit aid and arms for the upcoming fight. This work tells a tale of international intrigue and from it emerges a portrait of a brilliant man, as well as a sense of the fragility and improvisation of his country's bid for independence.
