Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Liberators: A Story of Future American Politics
Colonel Randolph shook his head and smiled a little sadly. Don't make that mistake, my lad, he said. Don't ever believe that a nation's fighters are greater than its thinkers, or that a man who leads a regiment to battle is greater than the man who has given the men in that regiment an idea that they are willing to die for. Some day this country will ap preciate the man whose words you have just quoted, and make room for Tom Paine in the gallery of its immortals. He and Franklin did as much for the Colonies as any. Soldier of them all. No general of the Civil War ranks beside the commander-in-chief, Abraham Lincoln. It was he of whom I have been thinking all afternoon.
