Summary:
"Thomas
Jefferson
, Thomas
Paine
, and James
Monroe
were in the vanguard of revolutionary ideas in the 18th century. As founding fathers, they risked their lives for American independence, but they also wanted more. Each wished for profound changes in the political and social fabric of pre-1776
America
and hoped that the American
Revolution
would spark republican and egalitarian revolutions throughout
Europe
, sweeping away the
old
monarchical
order
. Ultimately, each rejoiced at the opportunity to be a part of the French
Revolution
, a cause that became untenable as idealism gave way to the bloody Terror.
Apostles
of
Revolution
spans a crucial period in Western Civilization ranging from the American insurgency
against
Great Britain to the Declaration of Independence, from desperate engagements on American battlefields to the threat posed to the ideals of the
Revolution
by the Federalist Party. With the French
Revolution
devolving into anarchy in the background, the era culminates with the "
Revolution
of 1800,"
Jefferson
's election as president"--dust jacket.
