Rare Book

Synopsis:

Historians speak of the "shot heard 'round the world," but the American Revolution might better be described in terms of the "speech heard 'round the world." For more than two hundred years, the impassioned speech of Patrick Henry - "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - has resounded in the hearts and minds of freedom-loving people everywhere. Henry's life embodied the spirit of American courage and patriotism. Give Me Liberty goes beyond the oratory and eloquence to portray this remarkable man, his family, his ideas, and his times.
