Benjamin Franklin: An American Life [Buy it!] | Isaacson, Walter | USD 15.00 (Thu May 23 03:26:48 2024) | Abebooks | Booklover's Treasures | ISBN10: 0684807610, ISBN13: 9780684807614, [publisher: Simon & Schuster, New York] Hardcover "Given the nature and accomplishments of the man, any biography of Benjamin Franklin has to be a chronicle of a half-dozen or more lives in one, all lived with amazing energy, and all extremely interesting. And so, happily, it is in this splendid new look at the incomparable Franklin, who remains one of those Americans about whom we can never know enough. Walter Issacson writes with great vitality, intelligence, and a clear-eyed understanding of the worlds of politics, the press, and the human equations of high-level diplomacy. This is a book I've looked forward to for a long time and that I've found wholly enthralling from beginning to end." - David McCullough Illustrated. Later printing As new hardcover in an as new, mylar covered, unclipped dust jacket. [Foxboro, MA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2003] |
