A major intellectual history of the American Revolution and its
influence on later revolutions in Europe and the Americas The
Expanding Blaze is a sweeping history of how the American
Revolution inspired revolutions throughout Europe and the Atlantic
world in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Jonathan Israel,
one of the world's leading historians of the Enlightenment, shows
how the radical ideas of the American founders set the pattern for
democratic revolutions, movements, and constitutions in France,
Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Greece, Canada,
Haiti, Brazil, and Spanish America. The book traces how American
efforts to implement Radical Enlightenment ideas drove revolutions
abroad, as foreign leaders followed the American example and
espoused American democratic values. The first major new
intellectual history of the age of democratic revolution in
decades, The Expanding Blaze returns the American Revolution to its
global context.
