Last Refuge of Scoundrels: A Revolutionary Novel - Softcover
From George Washington to Benjamin Franklin to those whom history has neglected, here is the human side of the American Revolution that was never taught in school. Told from the perspective of two star-crossed lovers, John Lawrence, a key aide to General Washington, and Deborah Simpson, an American spy who disguises herself as a soldier, it is at once a love story and an inside look into the sardonic, ironic, often manic side of our country's battle for freedom. Founding Fathers like John Hancock and Sam Adams are revealed in all their humanity -- warts and all -- as the circumstances surrounding the conflict provide the stage for not only heroic deeds, but the greed and self-aggrandizement that motivated many of the forefathers' actions...and time has all but forgotten.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Early critical acclaim from Pulitzer Prize-winning scholars and best-selling authors Studs Terkel, Jonathan Kozol, Robert Coles, Howard Zinn, John Ferling and Winston Groom: Last Refuge of Scoundrels is the bottom-up story of the American Revolution brought to life vividly, compellingly, suggestively. It's a story that gives America its past in a manner worthy of comparison to Tolstoy's effort to understand and render history and does so in a manner that's rich, rambunctious, exploding with vitality and bubbling with wild humor. A delightfully irreverent look at the Revolution, it tells the story of John Lawrence a naive young merchant's son who finds love and his life's purpose in Deborah Simpson, a spy working in collusion with George Washington to lead An unsung army of ordinary Americans against the self-interested Founding Fathers as much as the bumbling Brits. Last Refuge of Scoundrels weaves meticulous research and fantastical fable into a poetic tale that's at once a rollicking romp, a haunting love story and a revisionist historical epic. From George Washington to Benjamin Franklin to those whom history has neglected, the human side of the American Revolution that was never taught in school is told from the perspective of two star-crossed lovers.
