This book contains both historical accounts of Lafayette's life and contributions to the early wars for democracy as well as museum-quality reproductions of famous paintings and portraits. Freedman paints a picture of this American Revolutionary hero to be a zealous, passionate, and dedicated champion of freedom for the people of both the American colonies and France. But rather than a tribute to just the soldier, this is a tribute to a principled, well-respected man. The timeline, index, source notes, selected bibliography and picture credits make this an excellent source for student research.
