byStephen Fried

Rush examines revolution, Madness, and Benjamin Rush, the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father, combining Stephen Fried's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
