Author: Paine, Thomas

Throughout history, certain books have changed the world, transforming the way we see ourselves and each other. Books have inspired debate, dissent, outrage, peace, war and revolution. Now Penguin has re-packaged a series of these seminal works for re-discovery by modern readers. Paine's incendiary call for Americans to revolt against British rule - the book that created the modern United States - converted millions to the cause of independence and set out a vision of a just society.
