The Radicalism of the American Revolution

The Radicalism of the American Revolution by Gordon S.

Wood is a groundbreaking book that offers a comprehensive analysis of the social, political, and economic consequences of 1776.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning work provides a detailed examination of how the theories of the country's founders became realities that sometimes baffled and disappointed them.

With a focus on the rejection of an entire way of life, including feudal dependencies, patronage politics, and a world view divided between nobility and "the Herd," Wood rescues the revolution from abstraction and allows readers to experience it with true drama and awe.

This landmark book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the significance of 1776 and its lasting impact on American society.
