Historians speak of the "shot heard 'round the world."  In fact, the American Revolution might better be described in terms of the "speech heard 'round the world."  For more than two hundred years, the impassioned speech of Patrick Henry—"I know now what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"—delivered in 1775 at the second Virginia Convention has resounded in the hearts and minds of all who love freedom.

As David J. Vaughan so ably demonstrates in this brief biographical study, Henry's whole life seemed to embody the spirit of American courage and patriotism—a spirit that has inspired struggling peoples around the globe ever since.  Give Me Liberty goes beyond the oratory and eloquence to portray this remarkable man, his family, his ideas, and his times as they actually were.
