SYNOPSIS: 341 pages. A historical novel about a real historical figure.

Among Howard Fast's historical fiction, Citizen Tom Paine--one of America's all-time best-sellers--occupies a special place, for it restored to a generation of readers the vision of Paine's revolutionary passion as the authentic roots of our national beginnings. Fast gives us "a vivid picture of Paine's mode of writing, idiosyncrasies, and character-generous, nobly unselfish, moody, often dirty, frequently drunken, a revolutionist by avocation"-Library Journal.

An editor in provincial Philadelphia, Thomas Paine wrote "COMMON SENSE." In England, and then in France, he fought for the Rights of Man, became a menber of the French Convention, endured some months in Luxembourg prison, and finally returned to the nation to which he had given so much.
