In this action-packed history, award-winning author Harlow Giles
Unger unfolds the epic story of Patrick Henry, who roused Americans
to fight government tyranny--both British and American. Remembered
largely for his cry for "liberty or death," Henry was actually the
first (and most colorful) of America's Founding Fathers--first to
call Americans to arms against Britain, first to demand a bill of
rights, and first to fight the growth of big government after the
Revolution.
As quick with a rifle as he was with his tongue, Henry was
America's greatest orator and courtroom lawyer, who mixed
histrionics and hilarity to provoke tears or laughter from judges
and jurors alike. Henry's passion for liberty (as well as his very
large family), suggested to many Americans that he, not Washington,
was the real father of his country.
This biography is history at its best, telling a story both
human and philosophical. As Unger points out, Henry's words
continue to echo across America and inspire millions to fight
government intrusion in their daily lives.
