By: Gordon S. Wood | Series: Modern Library ChroniclesNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Radicalism of the Revolution comes “an elegant, concise, and lucid summary of the Revolution’s origins, the war itself, and the social and political changes wrought by the struggle for American independence” (The Wall Street Journal).
“This slim book tells a big story: one that invites the reader to contemplate the relationships between liberty, power, rights, and the unpredictable outcomes of human action.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review
When Abraham Lincoln sought to define the significance of the United States, he naturally looked back to the American Revolution. He knew that the Revolution not only had legally created the United States, but also had produced all of the great hopes and values of the American people. Our noblest ideals and aspirations-our commitments to freedom, constitutionalism, the well-being of ordinary people, and equality-came out of the Revolutionary era. Lincoln saw as well that the Revolution had convinced Americans that they were a special people with a special destiny to lead the world toward liberty. The Revolution, in short, gave birth to whatever sense of nationhood and national purpose Americans have had.
No doubt the story is a dramatic one: Thirteen insignificant colonies three thousand miles from the centers of Western civilization fought off British rule to become, in fewer than three decades, a huge, sprawling, rambunctious republic of nearly four million citizens. But the history of the American Revolution, like the history of the nation as a whole, ought not to be viewed simply as a story of right and wrong from which moral lessons are to be drawn. It is a complicated and at times ironic story that needs to be explained and understood, not blindly celebrated or condemned. How did this great revolution come about? What was its character? What were its consequences? These are the questions this short history seeks to answer. That it succeeds in such a profound and enthralling way is a tribute to Gordon Wood’s mastery of his subject, and of the historian’s craft.

Does its job very well
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
Been using Metamucil for years. Because it is a quality product that dissolves well in water, tastes fine, and a very easy way to stay regular. Considering what it does for my system, it is a cost efficient way to get more fiber in my diet with no side effects.

Excellent product!
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
I held on to this product for months before trying it. Wow! Not sure what took me so long, but I am so impressed. First of all, it is easy to drink - just do it quickly. The taste is surprisingly refreshing.
Even more important, it works. If you have IBS or other digestive issues, you may be pleasantly surprised at how it helps these issues. I just regret I didn’t start using it years ago. I take at least two drinks a day, sometimes only one.

Works well and easy to add to a daily routine
Size: 2.3 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: Sugar Free 180 count
This Metamucil works well overall. It mixes pretty easily, the orange flavor is decent, and it’s been a simple way to add more fiber into my daily routine.
I like that it’s sugar-free and uses psyllium husk, so it feels like a practical option for digestive health without adding extra sugar. The texture is what you’d expect from a fiber powder, so you do need to drink it fairly quickly after mixing.
Overall, it does what I bought it for. Taking off one star only because it’s still a fiber drink, so the taste and texture may not be for everyone, but it’s a solid product.

My doctor encouraged my use of this product to lower my cholesterol. Okay, months later, no difference with cholesterol, but the produce makes elimination very very clean and I like that, so I still use this product.
