In The First American, the outstanding young historian H.W. Brands has written the best and most enjoyable biography of Benjamin Franklin that we have had in decades.

The careful and comprehensive research is obvious, the writing superb, and the story is complete.

The Franklin that emerges is lively, ambitious, always at the center of events...and yes, genuinely wise.

This delightful biography succeeds admirably in reacquainting us -thankfully- with the most famous -and fascinating- American of his time.

A pleasure. ~ Reviewed by Bill Lewis
