This 'glorious' revelatory biography from a Pulitzer Prize winner is about the most essential Founding Father (Ron Chernow)the one who stood behind the change in thinking that produced the American Revolution.Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, Samuel Adams was the man. With highminded ideals and bareknuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history. Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd and eloquent man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adamss improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a welloff family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a longoverdue chapter in the history of our nation.ONE OF WALL STREET JOURNAL'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2022 ONE OF LOS ANGELES TIMES TOP 5 NONFICTION BOOKS OF 2022 ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2022 ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022 And named one of the BEST BOOKS OF 2022 by The New Yorker, TIME, Oprah Daily, USA Today, New York Magazine, Air Mail, Boston Globe, and more!'A glorious book that is as entertaining as it is vitally important.
