Thomas Paine: Author of Common Sense (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781538381007)

"These are the times that try men's souls." When Thomas Paine first published these words in 1776 in The American Crisis, he had no idea that they would not only inspire Americans in the fight for independence but also resonate in tumultuous times ahead. As a journalist in Philadelphia, Paine found the power of the printed word. His pamphlet Common Sense was an early call for American independence, advocating for equality among citizens and a government free of the British monarchy. This volume provides a detailed account of Paine's heroic efforts, supplemented with a timeline.
