Bloomsbury presents Declaration: The Story of American Independence by Robert P. Watson, read by Jason Keller
Declaration uncovers the lesser-known stories, surprising twists, and forgotten voices behind the most iconic document in U.S. history.
Robert P. Watson delves into the complex and often misunderstood origins of the Declaration, revealing how a series of missteps by the British Crown, shifting colonial sentiments, and a convergence of enlightened thinkers led to a revolutionary moment that changed the course of history.
Drawing from a wealth of primary sources-including letters, diaries, newspapers, and diplomatic communiqués-Watson reconstructs the debates, drafts, and drama that surrounded the Declaration's creation.
Complete with a unique look into the influence of women, enslaved individuals, and indigenous peoples, Declaration brings to light the diverse cast of characters and perspectives that shaped the American experiment. It explores the document's philosophical roots, its political impact, and the enduring struggle to realize its lofty promises of liberty and equality.
Robert Watson holds the titles Distinguished Professor of American History, Avron Fogelman Research Professor, and Assistant Director of the Center for Citizenship & Civility at Lynn University and was formerly Senior Fellow with the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship. His publications include over 40 books on topics in politics and history, including, most recently
· George Washington's Final Battle: The Epic Struggle to Build a Capital City and Nation (2021), winner of the Gold Medal in History at the Independence Publishers Awards.
