About this product
Product Information
In the rows of august marble busts that commemorate the American Revolution, we have lost sight of the true radical spirit of the longest and most disruptive upheaval in our history, argues distinguished American historian Gary B. Nash. In this brilliant reexamination of the swirl of ideology, grievance, outrage, and hope that animated the revolutionary decades, Nash demonstrates that though the Founding Fathers led the charge, the energy to raise a revolt emerged from all classes and races of American society. Millennialist preachers and enslaved Africans, frontier mystics and dock-side tars, disgruntled women and aggrieved Indians--all had their own fierce vision of what an independent America could and should be. According to Nash, the American Revolution was truly a people's revolution, a civil war at home as well as an armed insurrection against colonial control. In this ideal companion volume to Howard Zinn's classic "A People's History of the United States, Nash re-creates the heady and often-violent excitement that convulsed American lives during the last three decades of the eighteenth century and presents a bold new look at the struggle to create a new country.

"Tightly though densely written, this expertly researched tome shakes the "stainless steel" history of the American Revolution to its core." - Publishers Weekly "You will never think about the Revolution in the same way." - Alfred F. Young , author of Masquerade: The Life and Times of Deborah Sampson, Continental Soldier "What Nash does in The Unknown American Revolution is dislodge the founding fathers to give the dynamism of urban craftsmen, slaves, 'dockside tars,'' and 'club-wielding farmers'' a more prominent place in the history of the movement." - The Boston Globe, "Tightly though densely written, this expertly researched tome shakes the "stainless steel" history of the American Revolution to its core." -- Publishers Weekly "You will never think about the Revolution in the same way." -- Alfred F.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
