The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution
by Bernard Bailyn
***Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History 1968***
Bernard Bailyn was interviewed by Five Books in 2011 on the best books on Atlantic History.
“Fifty years after its initial publication, Bernard Bailyn’s Ideological Origins has been so fully assimilated into our common understanding of the era of the American Revolution that it can be hard to recover what made it so significant at the time it appeared”—Eric Hinderaker, Professor of History at the University of Utah
