About this Item

Asimov, The Kite that Won the Revolution, Houghton Mifflin, 1963, First Edition with same date on title page & copywrite page. Very good clipped dust jacket with chips on edges and with a piece missing from front. As new hardcover with all 148 pages tightly bound and no marks of any kind. Art by Victor Mays. How could it be that a middle-aged man flying a kite in a thunderstorm should bring down with it not only the lightning but victory for the American Colonies in the Revolution? When the Colonies needed France's help to gain independence, Franklin's scientific reputation, his skill as a diplomat, and his popularity with the French aristocracy secured the alliance needed to defeat the British.
