A lively, illuminating chronicle of Franklin's derring-do, clever maneuvering and brinkmanship in France, 1776-1785. The Pulitzer-prize winning Schiff shows in splendid, anecdotal detail who without the French -- and without Franklin to convince them to join the fledgling republic -- America would not have gained its independence.
