Publisher Description
Historian and biographer James Srodes tells Benjamin Franklin's incredible life story, making full use of the previously neglected Franklin papers to provide the most riveting account yet of the journalist, scientist, polilician, and unlikely adventurer. From London, Paris, Philadelphia to his numerous romantic liaisons, Franklin's life becomes a panorama of dramatic history.
Srodes contends that Benjamin Franklin is the one Founding Father who was irreplaceable, and that without Franklin, there would be no American independence. Srodes delivers a riveting narrative where Franklin faces his antagonist, John Adams, garners French financial and military backing for the revolution, and keeps America at the forefront with his inventions and mechanical advances.

Beleiveable
When one writes of or for someone else, truth, time and good measure is lost. As this writing is well put, it is someone's opinion of what that person had done or said. It is 99% precision of what is or has been done or said. Dr. Franklin did not write this work. Beware of the thought to which is not truth but fiction!
