Past and Prologue: Politics and Memory in the American Revolution

byMichael Hattem

Past and Prologue examines politics and Memory in the American Revolution, combining Michael Hattem'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. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
