From one of the great political journalists of our time comes a boldly argued reinterpretation of the central event in our collective past—a book that portrays the American Revolution not as a clash of ideologies but as a Machiavellian struggle for power.

I am a descendant of Mary and Sarah Madden; mentioned in the book and it helped me connect with other Madden family members nationwide.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Terrific book!By Mary loves MurderThis is a great book - well written; with interesting and solid documentation; a "good read". Instead of another exploration of the tragedy of slavery; this is the story of a black family whose hard work prospered themselves instead of an owner; for many generations; and who wound up selling their land very profitably indeed. It's an encouraging success story; rich in detail and embodying the values of education and industriousness. The characters are memorable. It's several years now since I read it and it's still vivid in my mind. It rings true and is a very satisfying book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
