Customer Reviews of Triumph in Paris: The exploits of Benjamin Franklin
wonderful This is an amazing story that traces the later years of Franklins life. It opens with Franklin sailing in the Atlantic. he has resigned his job as Postmaster general of the colonies because of the revolution. He is looking for evidence of the gulf stream. This shows the dual quality of this quintisential American. He was both a scientist and a devoted American.
This wonderful fulfilling read goes on to explain the great exploits of this old and dying man.
1) He is sent to France to broker an alliance
2) In france he gains support for the American cause.
3) Appointed to the treaty commission after Yorktown he helps gain America the right to expand across the Mississippi thus ensuring us the prsent size and importance of our nation.
THis is a wonderful book that brings the man Franklin to life and makes one appreciate an often overlooked patriot.
Interesting topic; bland book
Franklin in Paris arranging for French help in the Revolution is an inherently fascinating topic. Davis Schoenbrun gave it a good thorough treatment. However, Schoenbrun is a plain writer, without any noticeable style, wit, insight. He does not manage to create any feeling of "triumph." Ths frustrations of his mission, however, are evident.
