Paperback Book

Perhaps no other revolt against the mother country, giving birth to a land, parallels the American Revolution. For, from this revolution on a land separated by thousands of miles and an ocean, new ideas and identities were born. These ideas have sparked the call of freedom around the world as the American Revolution has inspired self-determination seekers for over two hundred years.

In this original source compilation you get the actual words of the founders, soldiers and statesmen, frontiersmen, enemy combatants, English, American, and French voices, as well as the common men and the women behind the scenes.

We hear their voices as we read their words, untainted by historical speculation of scholars and promoters of historical theories. Their words and actions set the stage for the making of the American government, and the creation of the single most important documents offering freedom to its citizens ever put by men into words on paper; the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States of America.

Follow the American Revolution through the eyes of those who were there, in this PowerThink Publishing series of original source material, Volume 3, The American Revolution.

Reviews:

“This is pure history, without all the filters of contemporary interpretation. These books will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who wants to better understand where America as come from--and where we should be now.”
-Jay A. Parry, author, The Real George Washington

My Father W. Cleon Skousen, author of The Five Thousand Year Leap, would call this must-have collection of original source documents nothing short of pure gold of the rarest kind. This resource would have spared him decades of clawing through untold stacks and volumes of materials during his research and writing years. He would have treasured these books for that very purpose, and joins me in highly recommending these volumes to scholars and casual readers alike; anyone looking for accurate answers to difficult questions about America, freedom, and our era of unprecedented prosperity.
-Paul Skousen, author, speaker, CIA analyst, and Reagan White House intelligence officer
