Book Reviews of A Son of Thunder: Patrick Henry and the American Republic
Book Review: Compelling and informative, showing a complex man of action
Summary: 4 Stars
Son of Thunder shows the evolution of both the man as well as the evolution of individual liberty as a political reality. The author covers enough of Henry's youth to show how it helped create the patriot and rabble-rouser, then moves quickly to the defining events leading to revolution (this includes Henry's own conflicts with being an advocate of freedom while being a slave owner). Henry's political force was a brick in the foundation of our Bill of Rights. This work shows how this came to be and why it was vitally important to the birth of the nation. Highly recommended for the amateur historian, constitutional scholar, or modern day patriot.
