{"product_id":"the-revolutionary-samuel-adams-9780316441117","title":"The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams","description":"\u003cb\u003eA revelatory biography of arguably the most essential Founding Father--the one who stood behind the change in thinking that produced the American Revolution\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd, eloquent, and intensely disciplined man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a sin- gular 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 rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, 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 mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316441117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Stacy Schiff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42353141678261,"sku":"9780316441117","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8be88848-1a11-4a60-abb2-916c7f4774f0.jpg?v=1661844180","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-revolutionary-samuel-adams-9780316441117","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
