Publisher's Synopsis
"This book is about Thomas Paine's role and writings during 1776, how he helped Americans by offering ideas to help them found a new nation, and how he and George Washington built a productive partnership--one a man with his sword and another with his pen--to end the year with a surprising American victory against British forces during the so-called Ten Crucial Days of the American Revolution. The book probes some long-told stories and myths about Paine's role during the Crossing of the Delaware and tries to set the record straight"--.
