The American Revolution: Writings from the Pamphlet Debate 1764–1776

Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Stamp Act Crisis ignited the American Revolution and foreshadowed a long series of events that would ultimately lead to the creation of a new nation. Behind the major upheaval was an extensive political debate between Great Britain and the American colonies on ideas of liberty and representation. Gordon S. Wood, a leading expert on the American Revolution, explores the intellectual revolution and how it shaped the War of Independence.

Gordon S. Wood, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and National Humanities Medal recipient, is the editor of The American Revolution: Writings from the Pamphlet Debate 1764–1776.
