Silas Deane befriends the unlikely partner Pierre‑Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a playwright, celebrity, political fixer, and a man whose charm is as dangerous as his ambition. Famous for writing “The Barber of Seville,” Beaumarchais now turns his theatrical genius toward a far riskier production: a clandestine pipeline of French arms to the American rebels, hidden behind shell companies, forged manifests, and diplomatic sleight of hand.
Together, Deane and Beaumarchais navigate a treacherous world of spies, royal ministers, profiteers, and British agents determined to choke the Revolution before it can breathe. Their covert operation, equal parts espionage, diplomacy, and audacity, becomes the secret lifeline that keeps the American cause alive.
With sweeping historical scope and intimate human drama, LIBERTY! tells a tale of idealism, political subterfuge, and bold risk-taking: from the glittering halls of Paris and Versailles, to France’s rough seaports, to the ships that dodged spies and pirates to cross the Atlantic — bringing their illegal, desperately needed cargo to the war-torn country on the other side of the ocean.
The 250th anniversary of American Independence is the perfect moment to bring this acclaimed graphic novel to America. The Revolution wasn’t just about the birth of our nation; it was an international uprising with global implications, and LIBERTY captures that truth with nuance and cinematic flair.
This edition is a commemorative testament to those ideals, celebrating the Semiquincentennial.
