"""This tour de forceby Shawn David McGhee could have been titled 'When Americans became Americans.' His account of the two stormy years that preceded the Declaration of Independence reveals the processes that fostered the emergence of a separate American identity, a necessary precondition for the final break with Britain in 1776. While the usual movers and shakers--congressmen and other politicians--figure prominently in this narrative, McGhee also describes how public pressure and the press reshaped the political climate. No Longer Subjects of the British Kingis essential reading for anyone eager to understand how the American Revolution came about and the nature of the nation it begot.""--Gregory J. W. Urwin, Temple University"
