Synopsis

Scientist, entrepreneur, printer, philosopher, politician and autobiographer, Benjamin Franklin dominated his age. In this biography, Ronald Clark explores the large role that science played in Franklin's life and his pivotal stance during the Revolution and at the Constitutional Convention. Rather than exploding the picture that Franklin drew of himself, Clark has filled in the myth with new research so that Franklin emerges more vibrant, contradictory and spirited. The author has also written biographies of Einstein, Darwin, Lenin and Freud.
