This is a heck of an interview with the one and only Mike Duncan, creator of the History of Rome series podcast about his blockbuster, best seller Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution published by Public Affairs. Mike Duncan has written an engaging biography of the Marquis de Lafayette, famous and infamous in both America and France. From the dizzying heights of the world of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI to a prison in Eastern Europe, Mr. Duncan follows the life of the irrepressible Lafayette as he pursues the ideals of freedom and liberty. Lafayette's life is a glimpse into the foundation of Modern Europe and the birth of America. His life is a novel and Mr. Duncan writes the biography of Lafayette in a way that is both profound and fun to read.
