Over fifty incredible years at the heart of the Age of Revolution, he fought courageously on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a soldier, statesman, idealist, philanthropist, and abolitionist. As a teenager, Lafayette ran away from France to join the American Revolution. Returning home a national hero, he helped launch the French Revolution, eventually spending five years locked in dungeon prisons. After his release, Lafayette sparred with Napoleon, joined an underground conspiracy to overthrow King Louis XVIII, and became an international symbol of liberty. Finally, as a revered elder statesman, he was instrumental in the overthrow of the Bourbon Dynasty in the Revolution of 1830. From enthusiastic youth to world-weary old age, from the pinnacle of glory to the depths of despair, Lafayette never stopped fighting for the rights of all mankind. His remarkable life is the story of where we come from, and an inspiration to defend the ideals he held dear. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cPublicAffairs, |d2021.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 2378 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Biography & Autobiography.|2OverDrive 650 7 History.|2OverDrive 650 17 Nonfiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781541730335 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5772965 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=cffa8bd4- ef0f-451a-8979-100337a72ef9&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0017-1/ %7BCFFA8BD4-EF0F-451A-8979-100337A72EF9%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0017-1/ %7BCFFA8BD4-EF0F-451A-8979-100337A72EF9%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
