Review:

"A balanced view of how the Revolution was made by a variety of social groups-ordinary farmers and artisans as well as merchants and lawyers, women as well as men, blacks as well as whites-and how, in turn, these groups were transformed by the Revolutionary experience." -- Gary B. Nash, University of California at Los Angeles
