商品描述内容简介In this audacious recasting of the American Revolution, distinguished historian Gary Nash offers a profound new way of thinking about the struggle to create this country, introducing readers to a coalition of patriots from all classes and races of American society. From millennialist preachers to enslaved Africans, disgruntled women to aggrieved Indians, the people so vividly portrayed in this book did not all agree or succeed, but during the exhilarating and messy years of this country’s birth, they laid down ideas that have become part of our inheritance and ideals toward which we still strive today.专业书评Back Cover

"A unique and captivating interpretation of American independence, and one that is more democratic than traditional histories of the period."

—Chicago Tribune

"What Nash does inThe Unknown American Revolutionis dislodge the founding fathers to give the dynamism of urban craftsmen, slaves, ‘dockside tars,’ and ‘club-wielding farmers’ a more prominent place in the history of the movement."

—The Boston Globe
