A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Revolutionary: Samuel Adams\u003c\/i\u003e, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’s improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42872147148880,"sku":"9780316441094B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780316441094-l.jpg?v=1785872105","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/the-revolutionary-samuel-adams-9780316441094b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
