The first true intellectual biography of Thomas Paine, this book
establishes the origins of his beliefs and their influence on his
activism. For the past century, scholars have been studying Paine
in piecemeal fashion; studies of limited scope focused on the
minutiae of Paine's life and career, but no clear portrait had
existed to know how the pieces fitted together. This "is" the
complete picture. Who he was, what he believed, why he believed,
and how his beliefs and personal history are reflected in his
political activism - not just in the American Revolution, but also
the French Revolution.
