See all formats and editions

Patrick Henry was a brilliant orator whose devotion to the pursuit of liberty fueled the fire of the American Revolution.

As a lawyer and a member of the Virginia House of Burgess, Henry spoke eloquently of the inalienable rights all men are born with.

His philosophy inspired the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and, most significantly, the Bill of Rights.

Famous for the line "Give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry was a man who stirred souls and whose dedication to individual liberty became the voice for thousands.

A Son of Thunder is as eloquent, witty, charged, and charismatic as its subject.
