Product Description
Review
"major new biography of the radical thinker...still relevant to politics today." - The Bookseller 'With a panache worthy of Paine himself, Nelson reinstates his subject as a progressive thinker and passionate activist as relevant to our times as to his own.' - Iain Finlayson, The Times 'a vigorous biography of Thomas Paine that puts him in the context of his contrary times...Nelson's excellent book strikes a balance between sympathy and criticism.' - David Horspool, Daily Telegraph 'today, nearly half of the world's nations have democratic elections and the freedoms which Paine's revolutionary generation hoped to achieve.' Independent on Sunday, Cal McCrystal 'exciting and cheery biography...Nelson shows how this elusive, prickly autodidact embodied the ideas of his time while at the same time standing apart from his similarly enlightened contemporaries.' Christopher Silvester - Daily Express
Professor Joseph J. Ellis - Author of His Excellency: George Washington
'Brings Paine to life... The story is poignant and the prose is
incandescent'
