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.

  • History for the average guy

    I purchased this book for a history class, 3rd year college level. This was my favorite book by far. I find history to be very boring but Nash does a great job digging deeper into the history of the regular people. It's a book that common people can relate to. If you need to read history...this is your best choice!
