The Radicalism of the American Revolution Free Audiobook Download by Gordon S. Wood


Gordon S. Wood's "The Radicalism of the American Revolution" was published in 1992, and it is a basic text for anyone interested in the subject. This audiobook captures the essence of the book with a good narrator and its own original soundtrack.

This is a pretty good place to start your tour of the history of the American Revolution. The audiobook is made up of six readings by Wood, who provides enough detail and good insight into British policy and colonial life to make the book both accessible and worthwhile.

The American Revolution, the most radical of revolutions, was not only a war for independence from England but also a revolution in ideology. The rebels were far more radical than their opponents could have imagined.

A provocative and eloquent reexamination of the Declaration of Independence, The Radicalism of the American Revolution by Gordon S. Wood is an audiobook that follows the development of America's founding ideas from the colonial period to their translation into a revolutionary manifesto.

In a narrative that is not so much about the Revolutionary War as it is about the American Revolution, Gordon Wood discusses the motivations of many of the Founding Fathers and how their thinking led to revolution. The author critiques too many histories from those who only emphasize good feelings and positive outcomes, while blatantly ignoring the darkness that existed behind these events.

"The Radicalism of the American Revolution" is a masterpiece that should be taught to every student before they learn about the American Revolution. This book is not for the casual reader or for those looking for pure entertainment, but it does provide an in-depth look at what made the revolution and promotes a thoughtful analysis of its impact on the world.
