The Radicalism of the American Revolution
The Radicalism of the American Revolution won the Pulitzer Prize. In a grand and immensely readable synthesis of historical, political, cultural, and economic analysis, Gordon S. Wood describes the events that made the American Revolution. He depicts a revolution that was about much more than a break from England, rather it transformed an almost feudal society into a democratic one, whose emerging realities sometimes baffled and disappointed its founding fathers.
