Thomas Paine Firebrand of the Revolution
Thomas Paine (1737-1809) came to America in middle age and became a radical-democratic pamphleteer, effectively turning colonial rebellion into a national liberation movement. Paine later returned to Europe, where he played a prominent role in both the French Revolution and the cause of English radicalism. Paine is best remembered for his books: the controversial The Rights of Man and his book on the American Revolution, Common Sense. Harvey J. Kaye, well-known for his studies on Paine and his period, traces the English revolutionary's life and details his political writings in an accessible, highly readable narrative that also covers important events of early American history. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461717790
