Why read it?
1 author picked Liberty's Exiles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is probably the first book I ever read that made me think of the American Revolution as an event in global history.
I was mesmerized by how Maya Jasanoff gives voice to the Loyalists—the people American history usually forgets—as they faced uncertain futures as exiles in the remnants of the British empire after 1783.
And Maya writes like I want to write, absorbing readers in the human messiness of loss, loyalty, and belonging. I love how she connects intimate, personal stories to the vast sweep of empire, turning difficult work in dozens of dusty archives into living, breathing drama.
From Richard's list on the American Revolution as a World War.
