Product Description

In Founding Fathers Uncommon Heroes, respected author Steven W. Allen gloriously brings to life the American Revolutionary heroes: from visionary attorney John Adams to sage philosopher and inventor Ben Franklin; from idealistic author, statesman and architect Thomas Jefferson to the Father of Our Country, the gallant General George Washington; and from inspiring speaker and lawyer Patrick Henry to the persistent and studious Father of the Constitution, James Madison. Steve Allen s most stirring achievement, Founding Fathers Uncommon Heroes, reveals how philosophers became heroes, how ideas became their weapons, and how a scattered group of weak colonies became the United States of America through the lives and actions of these most uncommon heroes.

A Must Read
My wife and I have both read this really great book.Every American should know this information by heart. It makes us even more proud to be an American and to appreciate what our "Founding Fathers" went through to give us such a wonderful heritage. They were truly dedicated,intelligent men who were willing to sacrifice everything,if need be,in order to get their new nation started on Godly principles.
Our Constitution is as valid today(maybe even more so) as it was when ratified inspite of many court decisions which have tried to change the origional intent of the framers.
We recommend that this book be past of every school's history curriculum

The best book there is out there.
I Love this book it has so much information to gain form it for such a little cost. I think that everyone should get this book you will learn so much about the leaders that have bulit this county.

Outstanding!
At last a book that masterfully brings our Founding Fathers to life! Steve Allen has captured both the awe-inspiring and shocking facts about these men and put them into one easy-to-read literary work. I was surprised to discover the daily "air-baths" of Benjamin Franklin, together with his rascally ways of getting the closest seat near the fire. I was also touched by Franklin's resolutions to become a better person. The vision of George Washington to win his battles is unparalled. And I never knew that Patrick Henry had 17 children! A wonderful book!
