Description:

In this action-packed history, award-winning author Harlow Giles Unger delivers a "vivid biography of the Virginia firebrand" ( Wall Street Journal) Patrick Henry, who roused Americans to fight government tyranny--both British and American. Remembered largely for his cry for "liberty or death," Henry was actually the first (and most colorful) of America's Founding Fathers--first to call Americans to arms against Britain, first to demand a bill of rights, and first to fight the growth of big government after the Revolution. And as Unger makes clear in this epic biography, Henry's words continue to echo across America, inspiring millions to fight government intrusion in their daily lives.
