5.0 out of 5 stars The clearest, most succinct book on Henry I've read., April 23, 1999
By A Customer
Give Me Liberty tells the story of most important, yet often overlooked, cause of American freedom. He was known by Jefferson, Randolph and Lee as The Trumpet of the Revolution.

This book includes many exerps from his speeches and writings and offers a more accurate version of his faith and family than I've found elsewhere. If you love freedom, read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hidden Legend's life revealed, February 22, 2001
By "rousaswgnr" (Campbell, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Dr. George Grant is perhaps of the foremost modern historians, and his 'Leadership In Action' series deserves special attention. Rev. Vaughan is an excellent writer. He seeks to educate his reader about Patrick Henry's life and character, rather than mention uncaring, cold, and pointless facts. Vaughan applies Patrick Henry's life lessons to our future leaders, offering advice and direction where others just demand action. Henry is not often written about by modern historians. He is very a 'hidden' legend of American History. He was not an outstanding person in his social life, and he did not try to be in the lime light. Henry diligently sought to due his duty quietly and passionately. Patrick Henry was a truly Christian man concerned about the future generations of Virginians, Americans, and Christians. Anyone who is also concerned about such things should read this book and learn from a veteran warrior for Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Read, February 7, 2003
By Monty Rainey (New Braunfels, TX) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
What a delightful read this book has been. The author displays a clear and deep admiration for his subject, but I find no fault in that. The book reads very easily without a lot of stilted verbiage, making it a wonderful introduction of the great orator to the student.
There is not a lot of detailed analysis here, but I don't believe that was the authors' intention. This work is meant to be an outline and introduction Henry, the Trumpet of the Revolution.

The work is actually presented as three separate volumes in one binding. Part 1 takes the reader from birth to death, touching on the momentous occasions, as well as a good bit of reference to the details of life which shaped the life of Henry. Part 2 gives Henry's views of some of life's virtues, such as Christianity, patriotism and duty and gives an insightful look at the character of this great American. Part 3 concludes with how Henry has been remembered by history, and how he should be remembered.

Overall, a delightful read which I highly recommend to students or anyone wishing to gain a basic insight to a great American patriot.
