Title: Benjamin Franklin. A biography.
Description: New York Random House 1983 Bound, quarter cloth with board sides in original dustjacket, 530pp., 16x24cm., few illustr. in b/w, in good condition (dustjacket with some traces of use, spine somewhat discolorated, paper edges a bit yellowed). The first full-scale biography of Franklin in over 60 years! This fully documented account of the most versatile man of his age paints a lively portrait of the writer who invented the lightning conductor; the politician who spent years as an emissary in London trying to prevent the Revolutionary War; and the statesman who served as the US representative in Paris during the war, intriguing for French aid and American victory. A masterly work.
