For more than one-fifth of his long life, Benjamin Franklin lived in London, dining with prime ministers and kings, as well as esteemed intellectuals like David Hume and Erasmus Darwin. Illustrated with 16 pages of color photos, this history by the author of Fatal Colors: Towton 1461 gives a vivid account of Franklin's stint as a colonial representative during the Seven Years' War, effectively disputing the perception of Franklin as an outsider in British politics.
