Common Sense; The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine (Signet Classics (Paperback))

Published anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Paine's Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government. Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged. His pamphlet was the first to speak directly to a mass audience--it went through fifty-six editions within a year of publication--and its assertive and often caustic style both embodied the democratic spirit he advocated, and converted thousands of citizens to the cause of American independence.

Reviewer: A viewer from Asheville, NC US
Thomas Paine is probably best known for Common Sense, his lobby for the separation of the American colonies from Great Britain. The work is well done, albeit a bit long winded and repetitive at times. It gives great insight into the thoughts and practices behind the war as well as a glimpse at the people involved. The Rights of Man is brilliant and extensively (and I mean extensively) dissects the constitutions of England, France, and America. My favorite is the Age of Reason in which Paine comments on man's blind faith in religion and the church. It's intelligent and quite funny in places.
