Recensione

"An elegant synthesis done by the leading scholar in the field, which nicely integrates the work on the American Revolution over the last three decades but never loses contact with the older, classic questions that we have been arguing about for over two hundred years."
- Joseph J. Ellis, Author of Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
