Revolution

“Once upon a time there was a REVOLUTION.”

There’s never been a nation like the United States of America. It’s impossible to imagine the world without it—but do you know the wild and true story of how it came into existence?

On our 250th anniversary, the hunger for America’s story has never been greater.

With the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have become his signature, Metaxas’s REVOLUTION: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World brings the epic of America’s birth to life so fully that you will feel you are a part of the story, which is precisely the point. By turns deeply moving, gripping, and spectacularly entertaining, these are the stories every American must know, including some of history’s noblest heroes—and some despicable villains.

REVOLUTION also touches on the role that sacrifice, character, and faith played in the great struggle for “the Sacred Cause” of liberty. George Washington, John Adams, Nathan Hale, Henry Knox, Horatio Gates, Israel Putnam, Benedict Arnold and many others all come to life for a new generation of Americans.

At more than 500 pages—with photos, maps, and illustrations—REVOLUTION is definitive and sweeping, an astonishing epic containing a dazzling array of stories, ranging from the explosive events that led up to Lexington and Concord, all the way through the impossible twists and turns of the war itself—including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, and the bitter winter at Valley Forge—all the way to the final victory in Yorktown and “The World Turned Upside Down.”

Unless we ourselves know the true story of the Revolution—what some have called America’s “founding myth”—we cannot play the role we are meant to play in the Revolution that still continues today.

This is our story. We need to know it. For such a time as this.

Revolution presents an opportune reminder not only of the principles we celebrate every July the 4th, but of the toil and sacrifice required to sustain them.
Larry P. Arnn, President of Hillsdale University

Eric Metaxas has the invaluable literary gift of bringing complex stories to vibrant, comprehensible life. Some electric mixture in him of faith, intelligence and imagination gives him the power to see into the core of great events and conjure those events before you full of meaning and vitality. Here, he recreates that providential moment when the greatest political minds of a generation were gathered in a single place as by an unseen hand, and tells how these rebels, armed with philosophy and gunpowder, risked their lives and honor to bring a free nation into being. It’s a glorious story that can’t be told often enough, and I can’t think of anyone better to tell it than Metaxas.”

Andrew Klavan author of Kingdom of Cain: Finding God in the Literature of Darkness
