E Pluribus Unum The Formation of the American Republic 1776-1790 By Forrest McDonald Having won their independence from England, ^^ the American colonies faced a new question '£ 'Pluribus ^'""§j| of paramount importance: Would this be politically one nation, or would it not? E Pluribus Unum is a provocative and spirited look at how that question came to be answered. "A fresh, vivid, and penetrating recreation of the crucial fourteen years in which a new nation was born "—New York limes Book Review. "Original and stimulating"—American Historical Review. "Highly readable and highly recommended" —Library Journal. "Will lead scholars to reassess some of their assumptions about the formative years of the American republic. As one of the most sprightly written brief accounts of this turbulent era it is also likely to gain a non-academic audience"—Annals of the American Academy. Hardcover $8.00, Paperback $3.50.
