Early critical acclaim from Pulitzer Prize-winning scholars and best-selling authors Studs Terkel, Jonathan Kozol, Robert Coles, Howard Zinn, John Ferling and Winston Groom: Last Refuge of Scoundrels is the bottom-up story of the American Revolution brought to life vividly, compellingly, suggestively. It''s a story that gives America its past in a manner worthy of comparison to Tolstoy''s effort to understand and render history and does so in a manner that''s rich, rambunctious, exploding with vitality and bubbling with wild humor. A delightfully irreverent look at the Revolution, it tells the story of John Lawrence a naive young merchant''s son who finds love and his life''s purpose in Deborah Simpson, a spy working in collusion with George Washington to lead An unsung army of ordinary Americans against the self-interested Founding Fathers as much as the bumbling Brits. Last Refuge of Scoundrels weaves meticulous research and fantastical fable into a poetic tale that''s at once a rollicking romp, a haunting love story and a revisionist historical epic. | Last Refuge of Scoundrels by Paul Lussier Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Fiction > Historical Fiction P10140, Paul Lussier<
