So begins John Keane's magnificent and award-winning (the fraunces tavern book award) biography of one Of Democracy's greatest champions. Among friends and enemies alike, paine earned a reputation as a notorious pamphleteer, one of the greatest political figures of his day, and the author of three best-selling books, common sense, the rights of man, and the age of reason.
