In this revisited conversation with Mike Duncan, we explore the life of the Marquis de Lafayette\u2014an ambitious young Frenchman who crossed the Atlantic to fight for the American cause and later carried those lessons into the political storms of France. From early idealism to a complicated role in two upheavals, Lafayette\u2019s story reveals how ideas, alliances, and personal relationships shaped the Age of Revolutions. You\u2019ll hear how Lafayette became close to George Washington, what he learned in America, and why his legacy makes the most sense when you follow him across borders.
