In this stirring biography, Samuel Adams joins the first tier of founding fathers, a rank he has long deserved. With eloquence equal to that of Thomas Jefferson and Tom Paine, and with a passionate love of God, Adams helped ignite the flame of liberty and made sure it glowed even during the Revolution's darkest hours. He was, as Jefferson later observed, "truly the man of the Revolution." In a role that many Americans have not fully appreciated until now, Adams played a pivotal role in the events leading up to the bloody confrontation with the British. Believing that God had willed a free American nation, he was among the first patriot leaders to call for independence from England. He was ever the man of action: He saw the opportunity to stir things up after the Boston Massacre and helped plan and instigate the Boston Tea Party, though he did not actually participate in it. A fiery newspaper editor, he railed ceaselessly against "taxation without representation." In a relentless blizzard of articles and speeches, Adams, a man of New England, argued the urgency of revolution. When the top British general in America, Thomas Gage, offered a general amnesty in June 1775 to all revolutionaries who would lay down their arms, he excepted only two men, John Hancock and Samuel Adams: These two were destined for the gallows. It was this pair, author Ira Stoll argues, whom the British were pursuing in their fateful march on Lexington and Concord. In the tradition of David McCullough's John Adams, Joseph Ellis's The Founding Brothers, and Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin, Ira Stoll's Samuel Adams vividly re-creates a world of ideas and action, reminding us that none of these men of courage knew what we know today: that they would prevail and make history anew. The idea that especially inspired Adams was religious in nature: He believed that God had intervened on behalf of the United States and would do so as long asits citizens maintained civic virtue. "We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection," Adams insisted. A central thesis of this biography is that religion in large part motivated the founding of America. A gifted young historian and newspaperman, Ira Stoll has written a gripping story about the man who was the revolution's moral conscience. Sure to be discussed widely, this book reminds us who Samuel Adams was, why he has been slighted by history, and why he must be remembered.

This is a very mainstream biography. It’s very surface level and it’s meant for a casual audience. The writing isn’t bad, but I did find the book boring. Even though it was unintentional this biography really does tend to center in Samuel Adams faith.Stoll tends to ramble and get a bit off track in several chapters. He mentions other figures and goes in great lengths to document their statements on Christianity in 18th century Massachusetts but it’s not relevant to his subject or the progression of the book. I found that 60% of this biography is on Adams and 40% on Christianity in 18th century Massachusetts. Nothing in it is particularly interesting and for that I have to fault the author. This biography isn’t a complete biography at all. Adams’ childhood and teenage years are really glossed over and I didn’t really get a good grasp of the relationships he had with family and friends.The relationships developed by Adams and the important people in his life are not described well. This is most evident with his immediate family, his wife and his surviving children. As a reader you often forget that Adams even had a family other than John Adams. The information presented wasn’t new or ground breaking in any way either.If you have a serious interest in history and this era of America and Samuel Adams is of particular interest to you, I would go with something else. If you’re not a heavy reader or considering this as a present to a father or grandfather then this wouldn’t be a bad option. I just wouldn’t recommend to serious students of history. There’s nothing of value written here.
