| Thomas Paine (1737-1809) |
Sad to say, this history teacher had never read Thomas Paine's famed pamphlet Common Sense
until three days ago. I came across a stand-alone printing of the book and was prepared to buy it when I found 46 Pages.
The entire text of Common Sense (originally just 46 pages long, thus the title) is added as an appendix at the end of the book. I read the original text first and then proceeded to the first part of the book which consists of a short and pleasant combination of a biography of Paine, a history of Common Sense and little snippets of what several founders thought of the pamphlet at its author.
This is a solid addition to any American history buff's collection.
I rate this book 5 stars out of 5.
