      I enjoyed it because it gave me a window into the world of diplomacy, also the the abilities of this great man. If you want to get into diplomacy this is a must read. However some of the content is a bit elevated in language and could be found boring to some readers. But once I got over the previous I enjoyed the book quite a bit. Liste to it and see for yourself
    • 5/5
      Still the best Franklin biography out there, even after seventy years.
