Product Information
In the first comprehensive biography of Benjamin Franklin in over sixty years, acclaimed historian H. W. Brands brings vividly to life one of the most delightful, bawdy, brilliant, original, and important figures in American history. A groundbreaking scientist, leading businessman, philosopher, bestselling author, inventor, diplomat, politician, and wit, Benjamin Franklin was perhaps the most beloved and celebrated American of his age, or indeed of any age. Now, in a beautifully written and meticulously researched account of Franklin's life and times, his clever repartee, generous spirit, and earthy wisdom are brought compellingly to the page. His circle of friends and acquaintances extended around the globe, from Cotton Mather to Voltaire, from Edmund Burke to King George III, from Sir Isaac Newton to Immanuel Kant. Franklin was gifted with a restless curiosity, and his scientific experiments with electric currents and the weather made him the leading pioneer in the new field of electricity on both sides of the Atlantic; among his many inventions were the lightning rod, the Franklin stove, and the harmonica, a musical instrument that became the rage of Europe. From his humble beginnings in Boston as a printer's apprentice, he became, within two decades, the leading printer and one of the most important businessmen in the Colonies. A longtime Philadelphia civic leader, he created Philadelphia's first fire department, wrote the bestsellerPoor Richard's Almanac, served as Postmaster General for the Colonies, and in the process, completely modernized the mail service. A bon vivant and ladies' man throughout his life, he matched wits with Parliament and the Crown during the decade leading up to the Stamp Act; and as the official agent to Parliament, representing several of the Colonies, he helped push the Colonies into open rebellion. Tracing Franklin's gradual transformation from reluctant revolutionary to charismatic leader in the fight for independence, Brands convincingly argues that on the issue of revolution, as Franklin went, so went America. During the Revolutionary War, Franklin was charged by Congress with wooing the King of France to the American cause, and it was the diplomatic alliances he forged and funds he raised in France that allowed the Continental Army to continue to fight on the battlefield. In his final years, as president of the Constitutional Convention, it was Franklin who held together the antagonistic factions and persuaded its members to sign the Constitution. Drawing on previously unpublished letters to and from Franklin, as well as the recollections and anecdotes of Franklin's contemporaries, H. W. Brands has created a rich and compelling portrait of the eighteenth-century genius who was in every respect America's first Renaissance man, and arguably the pivotal figure in colonial and revolutionary America. A fascinating and richly textured biography of the man who was perhaps the greatest of our Founding Fathers, The First American is history on a grand scale, as well as a major contribution to understanding Franklin and the world he helped to shape.

Reviews
Advance Praise forThe First American "A vivid yet thorough account, endlessly fascinating, of America's most multidimensional 18th-century man, in all his diverse roles." -James MacGregor Burns, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winningRoosevelt: The Lion and the Fox "H. W. Brands is a master storyteller. With a wit, originality, and erudition to rival his subject's, Brands gives us Benjamin Franklin living. This is biography at its most riveting-as intimate as a dinner party, albeit one attended by the greatest figures of their age." -Richard Norton Smith, author of Patriarch: George Washington and theNew American Nation, director of the Gerald R. Ford Museum "H. W. Brands, tucked away in America's Texas heartland, has quietly been establishing himself as a chronicler of the American experience, with understated and comprehensive books about the Cold War, the 1890s, and Teddy Roosevelt.The First Americanis an extension of that effort. Brands, somewhat like the late Barbara Tuchman, understands that the public interest is best served by general, narrative histories-not by arcane monographs." -Robert D. Kaplan, author of theNew York TimesbestsellerBalkan Ghosts, winner of the Pulitzer Prize "The First Americanis a fast-paced, skillfully written biography of the always glittering Benjamin Franklin. The reader can only marvel at the multifarious Renaissance hats Franklin wore simultaneously: journalist, father, inventor, provocateur, moralist, ladies' man, diplomat, propagandist, revolutionary, tinkerer, and humorist. Another truly inspired work by one of America's best historians." -Douglas Brinkley, author of Dean Acheson:The Cold War Years, director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies, professor of history at the University of New Orleans Critical Acclaim forT.R: The Last Romantic "H. W. Brands has written a rip-roaring life of Theodore Roosevelt. Every red-blooded American should read this entertaining book." -Paul Johnson,The Wall Street Journal "An energetic and capacious biography...Brands has mined the prodigious treasure of letters, diaries, and published writings of the man more assiduously than anyone else I can think of. T.R. will stand for some time as the standard one-volume life." -Washington Post Book World

Thanks for listing this. I'm putting together a "time capsule" (a Tupperware-type container) of May 1999 things for someone having a 25th birthday this month and this May '99 bestseller book fits right in with the magazines and other items I'm gathering! Great condition and great packing for mailing, also!
