Publisher Description
When Thomas Paine first anonymously published his series of pamphlets titles Common Sense they became an overnight success. First released in 1776 at the height of the American Revolution the treatise denounced British rule and is thought to have been so popular as to have influenced the path of the revolution itself. In the words of Historian Gordon S. Wood Common Sense was, "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era."
Customer Reviews
Valuable Historical Work
Every American should read this "pamphlet". It is an important insight into the founding of the nation and, ultimately, the philosophy of "governement that governs least governs best."
The reader will also get an insight into the intelligence of the founding parties of America who are in sharp contrast to some of the dolts we elect today.
The English will be, of course, a bit of an issue for modern readers, but it's nothing the average reader should not be able to get through.
Enjoy and learn from this piece.
