Omschrijving

"One of Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2017 in American History"

"One of Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2017 in American History"

"Honorable Mention for the 2018 PROSE Award in U.S. History, Association of American Publishers"

"Stoutly makes the case that the American Revolution was ‘of immense consequence for America's future and for the rest of globe.’ Though not a new argument, it has never before been made so fully or with such convincing force. . . . Like Israel’s previous books, this bravura, complex, learned interpretation of 75 years of revolutionary history is sure to stir debate."

"An impressively broad scholarly history whose readability and smooth organization make it a joy to read."

"A fascinating global look at how the American Revolution didn't simply conclude with the independence of 13 colonies from Great Britain, and the creation of the United States of America. . . . The author offers a compelling overview of how the American Revolution impacted on the rest of the world well into the 19th century and beyond."

"The Expanding Blaze is studded with interesting facts. . . . An important, necessary and convincing argument overall."---Elizabeth Cobbs, Times Higher Education

"This book’s wide-angle account of the nineteenth-century spread of revolutionary democratic ideals makes it impossible to see the American founding as simply a national event; it was, in reality, nothing less than a battle of ideas played out on a global stage."---G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs

"The Expanding Blaze: How the American Revolution Ignited the World 1775-1848 offers a full blast of Israel from its very first page."---Catherine O'Donnell, Journal of Southern History

Jonathan Israel is professor emeritus of modern history at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His many books include Revolutionary Ideas: An Intellectual History of the French Revolution from "The Rights of Man" to Robespierre and A Revolution of the Mind: Radical Enlightenment and the Intellectual Origins of Modern Democracy (both Princeton).
