Review

"[An] absorbing and learned study....This book is distinguished as much by the writing as the argument."

Publisher's note

A narrative account of the "sister revolutions" of France and America reveals the lesser-known agendas that intertwined the conflicts, discussing the close but complex relationship between Washington and Marquis de Lafayette.

Annotation

Historian James Gaines adds considerable new light on history in this dual study of the American and French revolutions, through character studies of their two leaders, George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette. Recounting the invaluable assistance of Lafayette to the American cause, Gaines goes on to trace the relations between Washington and Lafayette, and America and France, in the years after the war. He sees a commonality in the way both men, each with an acute awareness of the lens of history, refashioned themselves, as if they were onstage. This parallel-lives approach emphasizes how, under the leadership of two heroes, the two nations helped make real the philosophical ideal of the principle of the rights of man.
