A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor his efforts, he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In \u003ci\u003eThe Revolutionary: Samuel Adams\u003c\/i\u003e, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams's improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilised the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eONE OF \u003ci\u003eWALL STREET JOURNAL\u003c\/i\u003e'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eONE OF \u003ci\u003eLOS ANGELES TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e TOP 5 NONFICTION BOOKS OF 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eONE OF THE \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd named one of the BEST BOOKS OF 2022 by \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, TIME, Oprah Daily, USA Today, New York Magazine, Air Mail, Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"A glorious book that is as entertaining as it is vitally important.\" - Ron Chernow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"A beautifully crafted, invaluable biography...
