Summary
A gripping account of how Haym Salomon, a Polish Jewish patriot, rescued the failing finances of the American Revolution when paper currency collapsed. Kevin Freeman and Dr. Jim Garlow trace the real money flows, emergency fundraising on Yom Kippur, and private loans that sustained Washington, Congress, and key founders. Discover why Salomon died penniless despite funding victory and why honoring him matters as America nears 250 years. Lessons span monetary policy, economic warfare, and America’s Judeo‑Christian heritage.
