| Summary: | "'Once upon a time there was a REVOLUTION.' There's never been a nation like the United States of America. It's impossible to imagine the world without it -- but do you know the wild and true story of how it came into existence? On our 250th anniversary, the hunger for America's story has never been greater. With the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have become his signature, Metaxas's REVOLUTION brings the epic of America's birth to life so fully that you will feel you are a part of the story, which is precisely the point. By turns deeply moving, gripping, and spectacularly entertaining, these are the stories every American must know, including some of history's noblest heroes -- and some despicable villains." -- |
