In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when &#8211; as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance &#8211; he embarks on a secret mission to France.<\/p>\n<p>At age 70, without any diplomatic training, Franklin convinced an absolute monarchy to underwrite America&#8217;s experiment in democracy. By virtue of his fame, charisma, and ingenuity, Franklin outmaneuvered British spies, French informers, and hostile colleagues to engineer the Franco-American alliance of 1778 and the peace treaty with Great Britain in 1783.<\/p>\n<p>The eight-year French mission stands as Franklin&#8217;s most vital service to his country.
