ISBN 978-0-553-80435-5. Copyright 2007. Hardcover with 564 pages. The exciting story of possibly the most important friendship in American history. Bringing together the latest research, this dramatic narrative interweaves the private and public lives of George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette. They were unlikely comrades-in-arms but they forged a bond between them as strong as between any father and son. Theirs was an unbreakable trust that saw them through betrayals, shifting political alliances, and the trials of war. Lafayette inspired widespread support for a struggling young America and personally influenced Washington’s antislavery views. Washington’s enduring example as general and statesman guided Lafayette during France’s own revolution years later.
