In a stirr ing description of the young French hero\, author Harlow Giles Unger descr ibes how Lafayette left a life of luxury to fight --- and nearly die --- f or liberty in America\; how he coaxed the despotic king of France to send an army and fleet to ensure American victory at Yorktown\; and how Washing ton embraced the boy-general as his "adopted son." Lafayette won nothing b ut acclaim from Americans and hatred from European enemies of liberty who condemned him and his wife and daughters to a dungeon prison for five year s. Author of twenty-five books on American history and the Founding Father s\, Harlow Giles Unger has been a frequent speaker at Mount Vernon and on radio and television. He earned plaudits from The National Review as "the nation's most readable historian." \n\nMr. Unger has appeared on History C hannel and C-SPAN's Book-TV and spoken many times at Mount Vernon\, Yorkto wn\, and other historic sites in Boston\, New York\, and other cities. He is a graduate of Yale University and has a Master of Arts from California State University. He spent many years as a correspondent and American affa irs analyst for the New York Herald Tribune Overseas News Service\, The Ti mes and The Sunday Times of London\, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora tion.\n\nHis newest book on Henry Clay will be released this fall.\n\n\nLo cation: Lyceum\nContact Person: Jim MacKay\nFees: $10.
