What is less appreciated is the importance of Franklin's part in the American Revolution: except for Washington he was its most irreplaceable leader. Although aged and in ill health, Franklin served the cause with unsurpassed zeal and dedication. Jonathan R. Dull, whose decades of work on The Papers of Benjamin Franklin have given him rare insight into his subject, explains Franklin's role in the Revolution, what prepared him for that role, an 606 $aDiplomats$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aStatesmen$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1775-1783 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiplomats 615 0$aStatesmen 676 $a973.3092 676 $aB 700 $aDull$b Jonathan R.$f1942-$0249378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460001603321 996 $aBenjamin Franklin and the American Revolution$91959730 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03206nam 2200601 450 001 9910788041003321 005 20230803200107.0 010 $a0-7022-5348-0 010 $a0-7022-5578-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000581799 035 $a(EBL)1876460 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001469972 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11849371 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001469972 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11398459 035 $a(PQKB)11774674 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1876460 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1876460 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11029011 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL670732 035 $a(OCoLC)897645696 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000581799 100 $a20150318h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe first balloon-expandable coronary stent $ean expedition that changed cardiovascular medicine : a memoir /$fGary S.

It is about coronary and vascular stenting, a technique that has improved the plight of patients who have unfortunately succumbed to the most devastating epidemic facing modern man-coronary and vascular atherosclerosis. It is also about a lifetime and a career devoted to finding safer, effective, and less invasive solutions to these clinical problems. Gary S.
