Thomas Paine was one of the most remarkable political writers of the modern world and the greatest radical of a radical age. Through writings like Common Sense-and words such as "e,The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth,"e, "e,We have it in our power to begin the world over again,"e, and "e,These are the times that try men's souls"e,-he not only turned America's colonial rebellion into a revolutionary war but, as Harvey J. Kaye demonstrates, articulated an American identity charged with exceptional purpose and promise.
