Last Refuge of Scoundrels: A Revolutionary Novel
10 Compact Discs. Includes an exclusive interview with the author. Paul Lussier's rollicking revisionist novel won critical acclaim from such Pulitzer Prize-winning scholars and best-selling authors as Howard Zinn, Studs Terkel, and Jonathan Kozol. Intelligent, entertaining, and raucous. Last Refuge of Scoundrels reveals the humanity behind those staid countenances of the founding fathers. Few historians will admit that the driving force behind the American Revolution was a patriotic prostitute who lived for "the Cause." She and her lover, an aide to the brilliant General George Washington were strategic players in the fight for independence. Together with an unsung army of cooks, jack tars, and washerwomen, they sparked a brilliant and successful guerrilla war. George Guidall's witty narration playfully captures this tongue-in-cheek depiction of the venerable fops, Puritans, and elitists we know as the founding fathers. Based on just enough historical fact to give it a Dickensian dignity, this audacious novel ensures readers a good chuckle.
