Dr. Richard Bell: The American Revolution and the Fate of The World

When we think of the American Revolution, we often picture a parochial drama: thirteen colonies squaring off against the British Crown in a spirited bid for independence. In this riveting program, historian and author Richard Bell invites us to rediscover the Revolution as a world war that unleashed chaos, opportunity and transformation across six continents. The war that gave birth to the United States of America was a seismic global event that redrew maps, toppled hierarchies, catalyzed migration and accelerated new movements for liberty—and for empire. Rick offers a bold new framework for understanding the Revolutionary War—complex, global and astonishingly relevant to the modern world. Author-signed copies of Dr. Bell’s book will be available for sale.
