A volume in the series of true stories of great Americans or those whose lives had a direct bearing on the story of the United States of America, the Marquis de Lafayette of France is one man who has more right to be included than any other. Considered the Friend of America, Lafayette's love for liberty evolved into a love for America. Had it not been for this great man, America's independence would not have been so speedily secured, and had it not been for America, the liberation of France would not have come so soon. The author presents the whole story of his eventful life.
