Last Refuge of Scoundrels (Oeb) - Hardcover
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.
