History buffs are well aware that the American Revolution garnered the respect and support of the French, and some historians posit that it may have even helped to inspire the French Revolution. In Lafayette, We Come!, Rupert S. Holland explores one key link between the two conflicts: the figure of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, who fought for the United States in the Revolutionary War and later went on to play a prominent role in the French Revolution.
