Book #3 (June-July):
The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution by Bernard Bailyn
Book Club Meeting: Thursday, July 23, 5:30 – 6:30 pm
Book Leader: John Phelan
Description: As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we should ask: What ideas motivated the men who wrote and signed it? Where did these ideas come from? How relevant are they today? In his Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, acclaimed historian Bernard Bailyn explores these questions by looking at what the Americans of that time said themselves, delving deep into the vast collection of contemporary publications. Join economist John Phelan as we venture through Baylin’s book, which will take us as close as we can ever get into the minds of the men who created the United States of America.
