If you Google "Samuel Adams," the first result that pops up is about beer. Centuries after Thomas Jefferson called Adams, "the man" of the Revolution, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff reclaims the history of perhaps the key force behind American independence. In "The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams," she explains how Adams built a shadow empire of propaganda and incitement after the British went too far in their demands of the colonies. We also discuss how the story of Samuel Adams has been largely forgotten, as men like Washington, Jefferson and his cousin, John, have taken a more leading role. And, we chatted about her legendary writing career and what project she might take on next!
