| Summary |
"This biography is written on the man himself and his actions and reactions in given situations and events. The work does not belittle the contributions of his contemporaries, especially those of Franklin, but shows exactly where specific credit should actually be placed. A lot of credit for success belongs to him"--Provided by publisher |
