The Marquis de Lafayette traces the French aristocrat who volunteered for the American cause and became a close associate of George Washington. It follows his military service from Brandywine and Valley Forge to Virginia and Yorktown, as well as his role in securing French support.

The biography then returns to France, where Lafayette advocated constitutional monarchy during the Revolution and later became a symbol of liberal nationalism. His career links the American and French revolutions while revealing the limits of moderate reform in periods of accelerating political conflict.
