For Independence Day, FA Magazine recommends Gordon Wood
Gordon Wood's The American Revolution: A History was called by Financial Advisors Magazine "The Best, Shortest Book On Our Revolution."
❝ It’s The American Revolution: A History by the distinguished historian Gordon S. Wood. Mr. Wood’s lifelong scholarship of this first and most successful colonial revolution has earned him – among other honors – a Bancroft Prize (the ultimate accolade in the writing of American history), a Pulitzer Prize and, in 2010, the National Humanities Medal.
In researching his earlier classic books, Gordon Wood admits he “read and reread nearly every pamphlet, sermon and tract concerned with politics that was written in the Revolutionary era.” His scholarship has profoundly influenced colleagues in his field while attracting a larger audience.
