Lafayette by Harlow Giles Unger

4.0

I have to say, I am so happy that I was gifted this biography. I went into it knowing nothing more about Lafayette than what little was written into the musical “Hamilton.” There were very few bland bits that get really detailed in terms of battles fought and political strategies employed. However, most of it was wonderfully written and incredibly fascinating. It is a very thorough look at his life that has made him my new favorite founding father. Lafayette deserves way more historical attention than I feel he has received (at least in my experience in the US public school system).
