a primary mover

Book review:

The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams

by Stacy Schiff (b1961)

New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2022

422 pages

If this is your first encounter with Stacy Schiff, you can guess it won’t be your last.

She writes powerful prose that makes you want to linger over the words, to learn more deeply, and to experience her transformation of history into something believable and real.

Samuel Adams was a primary mover of the American revolution.

The British loyalists on this side of the pond and the king and Parliament on the other side recognized his vital role in bringing the colonial Americans around to their ultimate decision to cut the ties that bound them to England and its king.

Samuel Adams tells a whole lot more about the story of the man than you learned before.

Take some time to read it.
