But Henry's skills as an orator -- sharpened in the small towns and courtrooms of colonial Virginia -- are only one part of his vast, but largely forgotten, legacy. As historian Thomas S. Kidd shows, Henry cherished a vision of America as a virtuous republic with a clearly circumscribed central government. These ideals brought him into bitter conflict with other Founders and were crystallized in his vociferous opposition to the U.S. Constitution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003ePatrick Henry\u003c\/i\u003e, Kidd pulls back the curtain on one of our most radical, passionate Founders, showing that until we understand Henry himself, we will neglect many of the Revolution's animating values.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46865180295319,"sku":"9780465009282","price":4206.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780465009282.webp?v=1769977397","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/patrick-henry-first-among-patriots-9780465009282","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
