“Revolution Song: A Story Of American Freedom” By Russell Shorto. Isbn 978-0-393-24554-7. Copyright 2018. Hardcover With 622 Pages Including Notes, Bibliography, And Index.

This Book Is A Finalist For The 2019 George Washington Prize. The George Washington Prize Is One Of The Nations’ Largest And Most Prestigious Literary Awards.

This Fast-Paced Story Takes Us Back To The Founding Of The American Nation, Drawing On Diaries, Letters, And Autobiographies To Flesh Out Six Lives That Cast The Era In A Fresh New Light.

The Characters Include An African Man Who Freed Himself And His Family From Slavery, A Rebellious Young Woman Who Abandoned Her Abusive Husband To Chart Her Own Course, And A Certain Mr. Washington Who Was Admired For His Social Graces But Harshly Criticized For His Often-Disastrous Military Strategy.

Through These Lives, We Understand That The Revolution Was Fought Over The Meaning Of Individual Freedom, A Philosophical Idea That Became A Force For Violent Change. This Powerful Narrative And A Brilliant Defense Of American Values Make The Compelling Case That The American Revolution Is Still Being Fought Today And That Its Ideals Are Worth Defending.
