• A New York Times Bestseller • A Finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography Benjamin Franklin is perhaps the most remarkable figure in American history; the greatest statesman of his age, he played a pivotal role in the formation of the American republic. He was also a pioneering scientist, a bestselling author, the country’s first postmaster general, a printer, a bon vivant, a diplomat, a ladies’ man, and a moralist--and the most prominent celebrity of the eighteenth century. Franklin was, however, a man of vast contradictions, as Edmund Morgan demonstrates in this brilliant biography. Written by one of our greatest historians, Benjamin Franklin offers a provocative portrait of America’s most extraordinary patriot.
