Thomas Paine was the spark that ignited the American Revolution. More than just a founding father, he was a verbal bombthrower, a rationalist, and a rebel. In his influential pamphlets Common Sense and The American Crisis, Paine codified both colonial outrage and the intellectual justification for independence, arguing consistently and convincingly for Enlightenment values and the power of the people. Today, we are living in times that, as Paine famously said, try mens souls. Whatever your politics, if youre seeking to understand the political world we live in, where better to look than Paine?The Daily Thomas Paine offers a years worth of pithy and provocative quotes from this quintessentially American figure. Editor Edward G. Gray argues that we are living in a moment that Thomas Paine might recognizeor perhaps more precisely, a moment desperate for someone whose rhetoric can ignite a largescale social and political transformation. Paine was a master of political rhetoric, from the sarcastic insult to the diplomatic aperu, and this book offers a sleek and approachable sampler of some of the sharpest bits from his oeuvre. As Paine himself says in the entry for January 20: The present state of America is truly alarming to every man who is capable of reflexion. The Daily Thomas Paine should prove equally incendiary and inspirational for contemporary readers with an eye for politics, even those who prefer the tweet to the pamphlet.
