ISBN 0070590974. LCCN 75-8656. The most comprehensive narrative of the American Revolution written specifically for the general public. Not only the story of the Revolution, it is an account of the development of anew human type, ''an American,'' and a new kind of human consciousness. Taking his cue from the famous comment of John Adams, that the Revolution took place in the ''hearts and minds'' of Americans long before the first shot was fired, the author describes how the American people were able to accomplish the most remarkable movement of a people from subordination to self-government in history, a kind of model of how a dependent people may become independent that has fascinated revolutionaries and politicians ever since.
