Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World
by Eric Metaxas
There’s never been a nation like the United States of America. On the 250th anniversary of its birth, bestselling author Eric Metaxas delivers the definitive, sweeping, and unforgettable account of how it came into existence.
In Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, Metaxas brings the epic story of America’s founding to vivid life with the passion, erudition, and wit that have made him one of America’s most celebrated historians and storytellers. From the explosive events leading to Lexington and Concord through Bunker Hill, the crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, the bitter winter at Valley Forge, and the final victory at Yorktown, these are the stories every American needs to know—of noble heroes, unlikely turns of fate, profound sacrifice, character, and faith in the “Sacred Cause” of liberty.
George Washington, John Adams, Nathan Hale, Henry Knox, and many others step off the page. At more than 600 pages (with photos, maps, and illustrations), this is the full, dramatic narrative of the only true revolution in history—the one that succeeded.
Featured in Hillsdale College’s documentary Revolutionary America Eric Metaxas appears in Hillsdale’s powerful new film Revolutionary America. Pair the book with the film for a deeper understanding of the principles, courage, and faith that shaped the American Founding.
This is our story. We need to know it—for such a time as this.
