Benjamin Franklin and the American Revolution

“A rich history of Franklin’s conduct in the Revolution. Having the various strands of Franklin’s life in the revolutionary period woven together is of great value. Both laymen and scholars will find it useful and interesting.”—Robert L. Middlekauff, Preston Hotchkis Professor of American History Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley

“Jonathan Dull is the leading expert on naval and diplomatic history in this era as well as an important Franklin scholar. . . . [This book is] a timely and useful synthesis.”—David Waldstreicher, author of Runaway America: Benjamin Franklin, Slavery, and the American Revolution

"Historian Jonathan Dull's new book provides insight into one of our most enthralling founding fathers."—Al Hemingway, Military Heritage

"Dull's 122-page, beautifully written masterpiece is the kind of book that readers will take in at one sitting or savor in pieces, digesting a part of each of the six chapters slowly."—C.L. Egan, Choice
