About Book

Review
"Lovejoy has now related this whole [period of history] more fully than it has ever been told before. His research is thorough, and his reach in time and space is impressive . . . a judicious and significant book, the best we now have on the subject"--New York Times Book Review

"A long-awaited assessment of those critical upheavals that disrupted the American colonies from Bacon's Rebellion in 1676 to the major revolts in New England, New York, and Maryland in 1689. [Lovejoy's] interpretation is decidedly neo-Whig, which should provoke a fine narrative of the period and a most provocative comparison of these important revolutions, a comparison that should challenge all students of the colonial political process."--The American Historical Review
