The American Revolution is often portrayed as a high-minded, orderly event whose capstone, the Constitution, provided the ideal framework for a democratic, prosperous nation. Alan Taylor, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, gives us a different creation story in this magisterial history of the nation's founding. Rising out of the continental rivalries of European empires and their native allies, Taylor's Revolution builds like a ground fire overspreading Britain's mainland colonies, fueled by local conditions, destructive, hard to quell. Conflict ignited on the frontier, where settlers clamored to push west into Indian lands against British restrictions, and in the seaboard cities, where commercial elites mobilized riots and boycotts to resist British tax policies. When war erupted, Patriot crowds harassed Loyalists and nonpartisans into compliance with their cause. Brutal guerrilla violence flared all along the frontier from New York to the Carolinas, fed by internal divisions as well as the clash with Britain. Taylor skillfully draws France, Spain, and native powers into a comprehensive narrative of the war that delivers the major battles, generals, and common soldiers with insight and power. With discord smoldering in the fragile new nation through the 1780s, nationalist leaders such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton sought to restrain unruly state democracies and consolidate power in a Federal Constitution. Assuming the mantle of "We the People," the advocates of national power ratified the new frame of government. But their opponents prevailed in the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, whose vision of a western "empire of liberty" aligned with the long-standing, expansive ambitions of frontier settlers. White settlement and black slavery spread west, setting the stage for a civil war that nearly destroyed the union created by the founders.

'As many of us have discovered in the COVID-19 era, telehealth is not plug and play. This in-depth, interdisciplinary analysis of two contrasting health systems by someone who has made technology work in challenging circumstances has many lessons for the wider world.' -Trisha Greenhalgh, Professor of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, UK 'In an original contribution on the incorporation of telehealth by public health systems, Taylor develops a comparative case study between Australia and Brazil. He offers interesting insights into conceptual frameworks, the importance of the political context, the governance structure, as well as the relationship between professionals, managers, stakeholders, shaping the provision of services through telehealth, before and after COVID-19.' -Ana Estela Haddad, PhD, Free Lecturer, Associate Professor, University of Sao Paulo, Coordinator, Brazilian Telehealth Program 2007 to 2012, Ministry of Health, Brazil 'In 2020, our lives changed. And the way we delivered healthcare changed as well. The rapid adoption of telehealth in countries across the globe has transformed healthcare, bringing both opportunities and risks. This timely publication examines the phenomenon of telehealth in the age of COVID-19.' -Michael Kidd AM, Professor of Primary Care Reform, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia 'Not only does Alan Taylor make an important contribution to our understanding of telehealth in times of crisis, he also adds a very important dimension to our understanding what lies behind the success or failure of healthcare interventions. His identification of the huge significance of pre-existing social and cultural contexts is something that everyone involved in developing or evaluating health services should take to heart.' -Sam Porter, Professor of Nursing Sociology, Head of Department of Social Sciences and Social Work, Bournemouth University.
