Historians speak of the shot heard 'round the world, but the American
Revolution might better be described in terms of the speech heard 'round
the world. For more than two hundred years, the impassioned speech of
Patrick Henry - I know not what course others may take, but as for me,
give me liberty or give me death! - has resounded in the hearts and
minds of freedom-loving people everywhere. Henry's life embodied the
spirit of American courage and patriotism. Give Me Liberty goes beyond
the oratory and eloquence to portray this remarkable man, his family,
his ideas, and his times.
