Very talented and he's got a brilliant grasp on language and persuasive techniques. And his sarcasm is amazing! ( ) Thomas Paine does an excellent job of laying out the rationale for the war, as well as laying out the absurdities of the British claims. He stated the odds of British victory was almost non-existent. However, I think that he overstated the Americans chances. He did make good points about the poor philosophical and political reasons for the British attempts at American subjugation. This book is much better written than Common Sense, but Paine does still rely on emotions to some extent. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The American Crisis was written as series of pamphlets during the American Revolution period, when colonists needed inspiring works. They were written in a language that the common man could understand, and represented Paine's liberal philosophy. Paine's writings bolstered the morale of the American colonists, appealed to the English people's consideration of the war with America, clarified the issues at stake in the war, and denounced the advocates of a negotiated peace.
