Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson. Recommended by 19 sources.
“Isaacson’s biography links Franklin’s many roles into a coherent life story, useful for readers who want to see how his public achievements and private contradictions intertwined. The parts on his pragmatic brilliance and self-fashioned image keep things moving, but the diplomatic intricacies and political maneuvering can drag. The personal side, including his strained family relationships, adds depth, though some readers will wish for sharper criticism. It rewards patience but will lose anyone wanting a leaner account.”
