description: In the literature of American history, this book is a first. Triumph in Paris tells the story of the man who took the American Revolution to Europe and kept it alive there. In 1776, Franklin -- diplomat, lover, scientist, writer and bon vivant extraordinaire -- postponed his long-overdue retirement and, at age seventy, went to Paris to negotiate America's first foreign alliance and secure the arms, men and money that made our independence possible.
