The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams
by Stacy Schiff
Another great biography from Schiff. It focuses primarily on the period from 1765-1775 and gives one a close up view of history and the central role Samuel Adams played in the run-up to the war. He was the chief propagandist for the colonists and irked the British to no ends such that they saw him as the instigator despite hiding behind numerous pseudonyms. His relationships with Hancock, John Adams and others are elucidated. A fascinating read. I learned a lot about important events in American history. She makes history come alive.
