The Revolutionary

Buchzusammenfassung

Stacy Schiff is a Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer and historian whose books have garnered both international acclaim and multiple awards.

On the night of April 18, 1775, as British troops prepared to suppress colonial resistance near Lexington, Paul Revere embarked on his midnight ride to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the impending threat. Adams, a key figure in the revolutionary movement, had long been a target of British authorities due to his subversive writings, political strategies, and covert operations, which consistently outmaneuvered British intelligence. His early experiences with collective resistance, financial struggles tied to his father’s debts, and the dissolution of the Land Bank shaped his fierce opposition to British rule. Through his writings, Adams championed ideas like taxation without representation, mobilized boycotts, and unified the colonies against oppressive policies.
