desertcart.com: The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams: 9780316441117: Schiff, Stacy: Books

Review: A Spellbinding Portrait of a Visionary Leader of the American Revolution - "The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams" by Stacy Schiff is an insightful and dynamic biography that reaffirms the crucial role Samuel Adams played in the American Revolution. Highlighted by Thomas Jefferson's assertion that Adams was the true leader of the movement, Schiff's narrative delves into the life of this passionate revolutionary who combined high ideals with gritty tactics to rally the American colonies against British oppression. Adams amplified significant events like the Boston Massacre and was instrumental in orchestrating the Boston Tea Party, using his skills as a communicator to galvanize a diverse array of supporters. Schiff brings Adams to life as a complex figure, transforming from the privileged son of a well-to-do family into a fierce and charismatic political radical. By capturing his fervent dedication to the cause, she uncovers how he became one of the most wanted men in America, particularly when Paul Revere rode to warn him of impending arrest for treason. "The Revolutionary" is both an arresting and dramatic account of Adams’s journey, enriching our understanding of a pivotal moment in history and the man who helped shape it. With Schiff’s masterful storytelling, this biography offers a long-overdue look at Adams’s legacy and the enduring impact of his relentless pursuit of liberty and justice.
Review: A Good Account of Samuel Adams - Stacy Schiff has written a good account of a true revolutionary in Samuel Adams. By her own admission he was someone who was difficult to write a good and comprehensive biography. Adams burned most of his writing and correspondence out of fear for his own life and others during these turbulent times. So much of what he really thought and aspired to is lost. There is much here to learn though I didn't know much about him at all. I have been reading about many of the ones of that era and his name kept coming up so I obtained this book to learn more about him. He really was the founder of the revolution and kept it alive when many were still trying to reconcile with the crown. The only downside to this book is I found the narrative style of Ms. Shiff a little choppy and could be hard to read at times. But that is just me and my preferred writing styles. Still a good book to read if you are interest in early American history and to the events that lead to out independence.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Forgotten Adams
*by C***A on May 25, 2025*

Most people today probably know Sam Adams as a brewer. He was one but not a very good one. At least, he ran the business created by his father into the ground. But Sam Adams was perhaps more responsible for the Revolution than anyone else. Adams was devoted to liberty. When England, which had generally given the colonies free rein to create democratic institutions, decided to take more control, Adams was the opposition. " Taxation without representation" were fighting words to Adams. Adams used every means at his disposal to fight. Mostly he used the press. At times, he was not constrained by the truth. As today, that was not unusual. He also arranged for mobs and violence. But not only did he convince Boston and Massachusetts to support the Revolution, he was perhaps primarily responsible for convincing all the colonies. His articles were reprinted everywhere. His master stroke was creating committees of correspondence throughout the colonies that kept each other informed of every English slight to liberty. This resulted in people seeing the colonies as linked together in opposition to England. Without this there would be no Revolution. The Revolutionary is an excellent biography that will hopefully begin a new appraisal of Sam Adams.
