- Summary
- "The revolutionary spirit that runs throughout American history, and whose founding father and greatest advocate was Thomas Paine, is traced in Thomas Paine and the Promise of America. Showing how Paine turned Americans into radicals - and how we have remained radicals at heart ever since - Harvey J. Kaye presents the nation's democratic story." "Beginning with Paine's life and ideas and following their vigorous influence through to our own day, Thomas Paine and the Promise of America reveals how, while the powers that be repeatedly sought to suppress, defame, and most recently, co-opt Paine's memory, generations of radical and liberal Americans turned to Paine for inspiration as they endeavored to expand American freedom, equality, and democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
