From the back of the book:
The fascinating story of an American patriot
John Hancock is best remembered for his bold, defiant signature on the Declaration of Independence, but that defining moment represents only one of his many contributions to U.S. history. One of the wealthiest men in the American colonies, he risked his fortune and his life to play a pivotal role in the events that led to the outbreak of the American Revolution. Hancock then served as one of the prominent leaders in the war and in the early years of the new nation.
