The Royalist Revolution

Discover a compelling new perspective on the American Revolution in Royalist Revolution by Eric Nelson. This thought-provoking book, published in 2017, spans 400 pages and delves into the complexities of America's fight for independence. Contrary to the traditional narrative that portrays the Revolution as a rebellion against royal tyranny, Nelson presents a revisionist view, arguing that many of the Founding Fathers viewed themselves as rebels against the British Parliament rather than the Crown itself. This insightful analysis has garnered significant acclaim, winning the Society of the Cincinnati History Prize and being recognized as a finalist for the George Washington Prize, as well as being named an Outstanding Academic Title of 2015. Join Nelson on this enlightening journey through constitutional history and political science that challenges conventional wisdom about the origins of American democracy.
