About this episode
With the nation's 250th anniversary upon us, Mitch Daniels sits down with historian Ryan Cole, author of The Last Adieu: Lafayette's Triumphant Return, the Echoes of Revolution, and the Gratitude of the Republic, to explore what that extraordinary homecoming meant to Americans then and what it can teach us now. They discuss Lafayette's role in winning independence, "informed patriotism" and the danger of losing our historical memory.
