Lafayette And Three Revolutions is a historical non-fiction book written by John Simpson Penman. The book tells the story of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat who played a significant role in three revolutions - the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the 1830 Revolution in France. The book provides a detailed account of Lafayette's life, from his upbringing in France to his involvement in the American Revolution, where he fought alongside George Washington and helped secure victory for the American colonies. It then delves into his role in the French Revolution, where he played a key role in drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen and served as commander-in-chief of the National Guard.The book also explores Lafayette's political career in France, where he fought for constitutional monarchy and was a vocal opponent of Napoleon Bonaparte. It concludes with his role in the 1830 Revolution, where he helped overthrow the Bourbon monarchy and establish the July Monarchy.Throughout the book, Penman provides a vivid and engaging account of Lafayette's life, drawing on a range of primary sources to bring the historical figure to life. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of the American and French Revolutions, as well as the life of one of their most important figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
