{"product_id":"paine-david-freeman-hawke-9780393309195","title":"Paine","description":"John Adams said that \"without the pen of Paine the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain.\" Yet of all the great figures of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine has been least understood. Now David Freeman Hawke has written a rich biography of the brilliant propagandist who wrote \u003cem\u003eCommon Sense\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Age of Reason\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Rights of Man\u003c\/em\u003e. Thomas Paine lived a life of great diversity, from poor beginnings through the dramatic roles he played in the American and French revolutions, his friendship with Benjamin Franklin, his imprisonment in France during the Terror, his trial and banishment from England, and the pathos of his declining years. Temperamental and jealous of his reputation, Paine was nevertheless a gentle and unworldly man. In this portrait he comes to life as one of the great revolutionary idealists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Freeman Hawke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393309193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393309195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
