A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America—when Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’ improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A beautifully crafted, invaluable biography … Schiff ingeniously connects the past to our present and future, underscoring the lessons of Adams while reclaiming our nation’s self-evident truths at a moment when we seemed to have forgotten them.” —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOprah Daily\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2022\u003cbr\u003e One of \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e’s “10 BEST BOOKS OF 2022”\u003cbr\u003e One of \u003ci\u003eThe Los Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e’ “Top 5 Nonfiction Books of 2022”\u003cbr\u003e One of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e’ “Most Notable Books of 2022”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And named one of the “Best Books of 2022” by \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOprah Daily\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e USA Today\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAir Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, and more!","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348656562480,"sku":"BDg75z","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49348656595248,"sku":"40g75z","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/g75z-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778160099","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-g75z","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
