Apostles of Revolution: Jefferson, Paine, Monroe, and the Struggle Against the Old Order in America and Europe

byJohn Ferling

Apostles of Revolution examines jefferson, Paine, Monroe, and the Struggle Against the Old Order in America and Europe, combining John Ferling's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
