Title: In depth study of Tom Paine
Product review: Tom Paine's Common Sense was one of the most influential writings of the American Revolution. Eric Foner covers this period of Paine's career in 30 pages. The rest of this tome is dedicated to the founding of new political systems in Pennsylvania and controversies surrounding the establishment of the Bank of North America. Although these topics are of interest to scholars, they were of limited interest to this more casual reader. I found much of the book tedious and difficult to wade through. It would probably be great for those with a thirst for rarely documented parts of early American history. Probably this would not be a good choice for those with a more casual interest in this period.
