description: '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)
