“‘This is time for a revolution … They can’t take us all down.’ Those words from ‘Breaking Bad’ actor Giancarlo Esposito are being echoed by a growing number of armchair revolutionaries today. Revolution is again in the air as we approach the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. On Tuesday, Simon & Schuster is releasing my book, Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, an exploration of the founding and the future of our unique republic. It is a book about revolutions and how they can consume those who start them. Both the American and French revolutions arose during the same period, but one became the world’s oldest democracy while the other became a blood-soaked tyranny known as the Reign of Terror.” [editor’s note: The American revolution created … Iceland? – TLK] (02/03/25)
