Russell Freedman’s profile of
LAFAYETTE AND THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION (Holiday
House, $24.95) is the story of a
young Frenchman eager to pursue
the lofty goal of liberty and to prove
himself in battle. This exciting
biography is engaging from the very
first page. Prints, portraits, and
drawings illustrate the tumultuous life of the Marquis de Lafayette,
who rebelled against his own government to assist America in its
Revolutionary War. Ages 10-14. KLP
