Revolution by Eric Metaxas

The Epic, Definitive Story of America’s Birth — Told with Passion, Wit, and Unforgettable Detail

In Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, #1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas delivers a sweeping, cinematic, and deeply human account of the American Revolution — just in time for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

From the explosive events leading to Lexington and Concord, through the impossible twists and turns of the war — Bunker Hill, the Crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, the brutal winter at Valley Forge — all the way to the final victory at Yorktown and the world turned upside down, Metaxas brings the story to life with the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have made him one of America’s most beloved historians and storytellers.

At more than 600 pages, with photos, maps, and illustrations, this is no dry textbook. It’s a living, breathing epic filled with larger-than-life personalities, heartbreaking sacrifices, astonishing heroism, and the radical ideas that birthed the freest, most prosperous nation the world has ever known. You’ll feel as if you’re walking alongside Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, and the countless ordinary men and women who risked everything for liberty.

Whether you’re a longtime history buff or simply hungry to understand what makes America exceptional, Revolution will move, inspire, and remind you why the story of our founding still matters — perhaps now more than ever.
