A fresh new look at the Enlightenment intellectual who became the
most controversial of America's founding fathers
Despite his being a founder of both the United States and the
French Republic, the creator of the phrase "United States of
America," and the author of "Common Sense," Thomas Paine is the
least well known of America's founding fathers. This edifying
biography by Craig Nelson traces Paine's path from his years as a
London mechanic, through his emergence as the voice of
revolutionary fervor on two continents, to his final days in the
throes of dementia. By acquainting us as never before with this
complex and combative genius, Nelson rescues a giant from
obscurity-and gives us a fascinating work of history.
