Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, by Jonathan Turley

[vharlow]

I've only just begun...and I just have to say this is a "must read" especially this year! Not a quick read, but compelling, and a fabulous detailed history that none should ignore. Prof. Turley is thorough and thoughtful. We are going through troubling times these days, and back before the ratification of our Constitution, there was much turmoil right here while the people worked on forming a system of government. Fabulously done! I have many other things to do, but I can't put it down. So...I guess I'm reading for a while.

Thank you for the book insight.

“The American Revolution began long before the war commenced.
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people.
This radical change in the principles, opinions,
sentiments, and affections of the people
was the real American Revolution.”
~John Adams

Thanks for this. I’m a Turley fan, and know it will be a good read.

Good. Looking forward to it. I hope that the recent works of that Leftist douchecanoe Steven Ambrose describing the Revolutionary War withers on the vine.

Thanks for this.

You’ve insulted fine, upstanding douchecanoes.

Ha! 'Douchecanoe' will be added to descriptive terms alongside jackwagon, turdblossom and leftard.

I'd really like to see some really old-school terms like cad, scalawag and blackguard come back into usage, as there's so many modern people they apply to.
