Common Sense by Thomas Paine

I just finished reading perhaps the most important manifesto in U.S. history: Common Sense by Thomas Paine. It is written in a logical, common sense manner with penetrating power. It essentially was the document that inspired tens of thousands of colonists to rally together to fight for true independence. It still has world-wide relevance today. And if you ever want an example of how to write in a precise, penetrating manner, this book is a great model.
