Steve’s Reviews > Benjamin Franklin: An American Life > Status Update

Issacson writes a very accessible, yet scholarly, biography. Franklin is revealed as a long-faithful subject of the throne, heartbroken by the ultimate need for revolution, but fiercely resolved for independence once it became clear that was the only route with a future.

Only into second chapter, but enjoyed his Steve Jobs bio so much, I'm looking forward to his take on Old Ben.
