Description
"This poignant, absorbing portrait of Benjamin Franklin and his son William is a powerful reminder that America?s fight for independence was also an agonizing civil war, in this case pitting a father against his beloved son. In exploring Franklin?s tormented relationship with William, the royal governor of New Jersey, who remained loyal to Britain, Epstein brilliantly illuminates the American Revolution?s tragic human cost."?
