The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff
THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE TOP PAGE EDGES.
Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, "Samuel Adams was the man." John Adams thought his cousin "the most sagacious politician" of all. With high-minded ideals and bare knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history.
Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, indroducing us to the shrewd, eloquent, and intensely disciplined man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams packaged and amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool in an innovative arsenal 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 road to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason.
In The Revolutionary, Stacy Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams's improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilied the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.
