Acclaim for the prizewinning* Lafayette
"I found Mr. Unger's book exceptionally well done. It's an admirable account of the marquis's two revolutions-one might even say his two lives-the French and the American. It also captures the private Lafayette and his remarkable wife, Adrienne, in often moving detail."
-Thomas Fleming, author, Liberty!: The American Revolution
"To American readers Unger's biography will provide a stark reminder of just how near run a thing was our War of Independence and the degree to which our forefathers' victory hinged on the help of our French allies, marshalled for George Washington by his 'adopted' son, Lafayette."
-Larry Collins, coauthor, Is Paris Burning? and O Jerusalem!
"Harlow Unger has cornered the market on muses to emerge as America's most readable historian. His new biography of the marquis de Lafayette combines a thoroughgoing account of the age of revolution, a probing psychological study of a complex man, and a literary style that goes down like cream."
-Florence King, Contributing Editor, National Review
*Selected as Best Book of 2002 by both the American Revolution Round Table of New York and the Fraunces Tavern Museum
