Interesting look at Lafayette's legacy in both American and France. Auricchio follows his life from birth to death, with primary focus on the American Revolution and French Revolution. Lafayette seems often to waver in his feelings and struggle to fulfill his obligations and persona. Appreciated that she was able to keep the book below 500 pages, a feat of true control over subject for a historian.
