"The World Turn'd Upside Down" by Seth Irving Handaside, the author of "The Men Who Chose Liberty"
"In this second volume of his series about the birth of the U.S. Republic, Seth Irving
Handaside focuses harrowingly on the Revolutionary War in all its uncertainty and duress. His
method is to progress through interlocking dramatic scenes from the points of view of some of
the Revolution’s key figures while at the same time allowing his extensive scholarship to shape
the narrative and provide the telling details. All in all, a unique and compelling look at our
foundational history—and a smashing good read as well."

American novelist of "World's End" and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award

Blurb:
"The World Turned Upside Down" takes readers on an exhilarating journey through one of history's most transformative periods. This masterful work of historical fiction follows the audacious British-American colonists, known as the Founders, as they boldly rise against the mightiest empire of their time: England. Their unprecedented struggle challenged the status quo and reshaped the foundation of global politics and human rights, ushering in the era of democracy. As the narrative unfolds with rich, immersive detail and dynamic characters, the story poses a profound question: after securing their hard-won liberty, could they preserve and nurture the fragile promise of a new world? This compelling tale captures the spirit of revolution and the enduring quest for freedom.
