For Pulitzer Prizeāwinning historian Joseph J. Ellis, The Cause marks the culmination of a lifetime of engagement with the founding era, completing a trilogy of books that began with Founding Brothers. Here Ellis, countering popular histories that romanticize the āSpirit of ā76,ā demonstrates through āevocative profiles of British loyalists, slaves, Native Americans and soldiers uncertain of what was being foundedā (Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune) that the rebels fought not for a nation but under the mantle of āThe Cause,ā a mutable, conveniently ambiguous principle all but destined to give rise to the warring factions of later American history. Combining action-packed tales of North American military campaigns with characteristically trenchant insight, The Cause ādeftly foreshadows all the issues that would complicate Americaās trajectoryā (Richard Stengel, New York Times Book Review), forcing us to finally reconsider the story we have long told ourselves about our originsāas a people, and as a nation.
āAt the intersection of his expertise and our need for coherence about our national founding arrives historian Joseph J. Ellis. . . . Ellis is no apologist, but he is a chronicler of the entire revolution, its best aspirations, its worst contradictions, and its ongoing dilemmas.ā āHugh Hewitt, Washington Post
