Book Description
How did they do it? How did a ragtag army and fractious group of lawyers, farmers, and businessmen—with far from unanimous popular support—defy a global empire and forge the most successful political revolution in human history, creating a blueprint for a nation that has endured for more than two centuries while so many others have failed?
