The Cause: The American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783

byJoseph Ellis

Focused on the American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783, The Cause brings Joseph Ellis's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
