Read by Scott Brick.
When people think of the American Revolution, they think of brave patriots coming together to resist a tyrannical ruler in defense of noble ideals. Itâ‚‚s a stirring narrative, and one the Founders did their best to encourage after the war. But as historian Holger Hoock argues, the truth is far more complex: The Revolution was not only a high-minded battle over principles, but also a profoundly violent civil war, one that shaped the nation in ways that have only began to be understood.
