Explanation Supposing Books Samuel Adams: Father of the American Revolution

Winner of the 2007 Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award!

Samuel Adams is perhaps the most unheralded and overshadowed of the founding fathers, yet without him there would have been no American Revolution. A genius at devising civil protests and political maneuvers that became a trademark of American politics, Adams astutely forced Britain into coercive military measures that ultimately led to the irreversible split in the empire. His remarkable political career addresses all the major issues concerning America's decision to become a nation -- from the notion of taxation without representation to the Declaration of Independence. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all acknowledged that they built our nation on Samuel Adams' foundations. Now, in this riveting biography, his story is finally told and his crucial place in American history is fully recognized.

Rate Appertaining To Books Samuel Adams: Father of the American Revolution

I knew the name Samuel Adams, I knew a bit about his roll in the revolution, but I never really knew just how vital he was to the revolution. Were it not for George Washington, we could not have won the war, but had it not been for Sam Adams there probably would have never been any revolution at all. Great book, well written, well sourced and I can say that I leave the book better than when I entered it. Can't ask for anything more than that.

A great, quick read on the life of Samuel Adams. Although it sometimes borders on hagiography, this book nonetheless changed my views on its subject. Samuel Adams was not the raging, foam-at-the-mouth zealot as popularly depicted. He was instead grounded in logic and reason...a truly intellectual force to be reckoned with.

Plain and simple, this book stinks. "Samuel Adams" is dry and contains an unforgivable amount of typos. In fact, the author's last name, Puls, is a bit odd. I figured it was Pulls or Pulse, yet was another typo. Maybe it is. I guess I won't ever find out because I'll never take a chance on another book by him. Let the masters like Thomas Fleming, David McCollough, Ron Chernow and Joseph Ellis cover the American Revolution and its heroes.

LibertyI have never realized the significance and contribution Samuel Adams made to the forming of this great country and my own personal liberty. This book should be required reading for all students of high school age.

The book wasn't in depth at all, just certain events listed, kind of like a history book. I will find another book to read about Samuel Adams.

I thought the writing was aimed at freshman HS level, but it made for a relatively quick read and I learned quite a lot. Having read biographies of Jefferson, Hamilton, John Adams and other revolutionary war pieces, I am now more aware of the lack of significant mention in any of those of Samuel Adams. The guy was literally the father of the revolution having thought that independence was something that was a "must" back in 1764! And unlike many of the other figures of that time, he was not a

Excellent book about a man all but forgotten in the pages of history books and school. Time to put him into the forefront of American history and the foundation of the nation's revolution and independence.
