The Will of the People: The Revolutionary Birth of America
T. H. Breen
(Author)
Description
"Important and lucidly written...The American Revolution involved not simply the wisdom of a few great men but the passions, fears, and religiosity of ordinary people."
--Gordon S. Wood
--Annette Gordon-Reed "Breen traces the many ways in which exercising authority made local committees pragmatic...acting as a brake on the kind of violent excess into which revolutions so easily devolve."
--Wall Street Journal
