Russell Shorto's work has been praised as "first-rate intellectual
history" (Wall Street Journal), "literary alchemy" (Chicago
Tribune) and simply "astonishing" (New York Times). In his epic new
book, Russell Shorto takes us back to the founding of the American
nation, drawing on diaries, letters and autobiographies to flesh
out six lives that cast the era in a fresh new light. They include
an African man who freed himself and his family from slavery, a
rebellious young woman who abandoned her abusive husband to chart
her own course and a certain Mr. Washington, who was admired for
his social graces but harshly criticized for his often-disastrous
military strategy. Through these lives we understand that the
revolution was fought over the meaning of individual freedom, a
philosophical idea that became a force for violent change. A
powerful narrative and a brilliant defense of American values,
Revolution Song makes the compelling case that the American
Revolution is still being fought today and that its ideals are
worth defending.
