About this audiobook
Discover the full, unfiltered life of Brother Benjamin Franklin — one of the most influential Freemasons in history.
This complete 4-part series follows Franklin from runaway apprentice printer and illegitimate son, through the deadly fake Masonic initiation scandal, his rise as an electric philosopher and civic builder, to his role as reluctant revolutionary, master diplomat in France, and Founding Father.
We explore his scandals, moral contradictions, evolution from slave owner to abolitionist, and how Masonic values of square dealing, Relief, and Truth guided him through war, diplomacy, and nation-building.
From the printing press to the Constitutional Convention, this is the remarkable story of a self-made genius who lived the working tools in the real world and helped birth a nation.
