From acclaimed historian John Ferling, the story of Thomas
Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and James Monroe's involvement in the
American and French Revolutions and their quest for sweeping change
in both America and Europe. Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and
James Monroe hazarded all in quest of revolutions. As founding
fathers, they risked their lives and their liberty for American
independence, and as reformers, each rejoiced at the opportunity to
be part of the French Revolution, praying that it in turn would
inspire others to sweep away Europe's monarchies and titled
nobilities. For these three men, real revolution would lead to
substantive political and social alterations and an escape from
royal and aristocratic rule. But as the eighteenth century
unfolded, these three separated onto different routes to
revolution-two became soldiers, two became writers, and two became
statesmen-and their united cause but divided means reshaped their
country and the Western world. Apostles of Revolution spans a
crucial time in Western Civilization. The era ranged from the
American insurgency against Great Britain to the Declaration of
Independence, from desperate engagements on American battlefields
to the bloody Terror in France. It culminates with the tumultuous
election of 1800, the outcome of which - according to Jefferson -
saved the American Revolution. Written as a sweeping narrative of a
turbulent and pivotal era, Apostles of the Revolution captures the
spirit of our founding fathers and the history of America and
Europe's great turning point.
