Unabridged
Grand in scope, rigorous in its arguments, and elegantly synthesizing 30 years of scholarship, Gordon S. Wood’s Pulitzer Prize–winning book analyzes the social, political, and economic consequences of 1776. In The Radicalism of the American Revolution, Wood depicts not just a break with England, but the rejection of an entire way of life: of a society with feudal dependencies, a politics of patronage, and a world view in which people were divided between the nobility and “the Herd.” He shows how the theories of the country’s founders became realities that sometimes baffled and disappointed them. Above all, Bancroft Prize–winning historian Wood rescues the revolution from abstraction, allowing readers to see it with a true sense of its drama—and not a little awe.

French vs British proxy war.
5 Myths About the Revolutionary War Everyone Believes
“The truth is, the 13 colonies would never have earned their freedom without French intervention — the whole battle for American independence was essentially a proxy war between Britain and France. To the French, America was nothing but another theater in their grand blood feud against Britain. They were all about making the Englishmen eat every last available dick, and since they noticed they could use the colonists’ struggle for independence as a handy feeding pen, that’s exactly what they did.”

Muy grande classique, with pride of shelf in Caesar’s domus. A good companion to Bailyn’s Ideological Origins. Premium, prof.

@Apnea: I’m not particularly fond of the analogy, but you’re absolutely right. The litmus test of whether one truly has any actual knowledge of the Revolutionary era is “do they know that without the French there would have been absolutely no chance of victory”, and “name five vital founding figures not named Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, or Hamilton.” That said, basically everyone played the ally dance at the time. War was a near constant on the European continent, and the only change was who you happen to be fighting with that particular year. France used America as a couple in the middle of an acrimonious divorce would use an asset. It’s not that you care about it, or that you even want it. You would just literally pay millions of livres to make sure the other person doesn’t have it.
@Caesar: you never fail to make my day. Truly.

They were hoist by their own le petard, when their expensive support of the American cause inadvertently led to the fall of the Ancien Régime.

“a society with feudal dependencies, a politics of patronage, and a world view in which people were divided between the nobility and “the Herd.””
