Rrëfimi i Franklin-it për jetën e tij është i ndarë në katër pjesë që reflektojnë periudhat e ndryshme gjatë të cilave ai i shkroi. Benjamin Franklin ishte një burrë i vërtetë i Rilindjes: shkrimtar, botues, shkencëtar, shpikës, diplomat dhe politikan. Gjatë jetës së tij të gjatë ai dha këshilla për pasurimin, organizoi institucionet publike, kontribuoi në lindjen e një kombi dhe negocioi me fuqitë botërore për të siguruar mbijetesën e vendit të tij.

This is a book all Americans should read. We have been led astray by the democrats and their self-serving programs. We need to take things back to normality and this book shows how to do it.
