| Summary, etc |
Patrick Henry's fame and popularity rest on a single ringing sentence that to most Americans sounds the keynote of the Revolution. Fewer of us know, however, that the voice that led the American Revolution in 1776 then led the opposition to the Constitution in 1787.In one of the bitterest conflicts in American history, Patrick Henry and his supporters blocked the ratification of the Constitution until it bore the amendments known as the Bill of Rights. Henry Mayer reveals in Patrick Henry a singular man, instinctively political, with a unique talent that would stand out in any era. This is a sharply detailed portrait of a remarkable man combined with a fresh interpretation of his political career. |
