SynopsisHenry: A Giant Among Leaders "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slaver? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" These compelling words embodied the patriotic spirit of Patrick Henry--a brilliant orator whose love of liberty, won at any cost, fueled the fire of the American Revolution. Patrick Henry was a hero. Int his incredible look at his leadership in action, we see why Henry's love of liberty gave him the courage to stand int he face of tyranny and prevail., A biographical study of Patrick Henry, whose "Give me liberty of give me death" speech in 1775 at the second Virginia Convention has inspired since then all who treasure freedom. This book goes beyond the oratory and eloquence to portray Henry, whose whole life seemed to embody American courage and patriotism, as well as his family, ideas, and times.
