Tom Paine's War: The Words That Rallied a Nation and the Founder for Our Time

Jack Kelly

4.9/5 (10445 ratings)

Description:In 1776, one man's words--and the determination of American patriots--allowed our nation to survive its first crisis.We think of the "Declaration of Independence" as the Revolution's defining document. But two essays appealed even more directly to Americans' feelings in 1776. Thomas Paine--a recent immigrant and self-taught writer--saw that America's rebellion was not simply about taxes and representation. It was a true revolution that could upend the fraud of monarchy and dismantle the aristocratic privilege that had dominated the world for centuries. His pamphlet "Common Sense" convinced Americans that the king had no divine right to rule them--they could rule themselves.Having inspired patriots to declare their independence, Paine enlisted as a private in the militia. He saw Washington's army suffer defeats. He slogged through the mud with retreating troops to Pennsylvania. There, he wrote "The American Crisis," the most stirring rallying cry in our history. It began: "These are the times that try men's souls . . ." Washington and his men took heart, crossed the Delaware River, and prevailed to fight another day.A tribute to the Revolution's 250th anniversary, Tom Paine's War is a riveting exploration of the earliest days of our nation's birth. This is a story of the power of words--and the power of belief--and how both speak as well to America's current crisis.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
