From the Back Cover
Books in the Manifesto series clearly and succinctly explain the background to documents that have changed global history. Each title looks at the context in which a manifesto was produced and presents either the full text or significant excerpts. The document’s immediate impact is assessed, with explanation of how and why its influence spread to a wider audience. Short and to the point, the books in this series make engrossing reading and give readers insights into the dynamics of modern history.
The Declaration of Independence is the spiritual cornerstone of the United States, proudly displayed with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the National Archives. Ironically, at the time of its composition its authors had no such ambitions. It was essentially a press release, composed to spread the word that the Continental Congress had voted for independence. The document is a masterful piece of prose, as well as a radical text that foreshadowed the birth of a nation. Manifesto: Words that Changed the World reproduces the Declaration, as it was written, with a complete listing of its signers. Informative text by Stephanie Schartz Driver examines its historical context and worldwide repercussions.
