Revolution 250 Podcast | Professor Robert Allison with Joseph J. Ellis

Deskripsi

Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Joseph J. Ellis joins host Professor Robert Allison for a wide-ranging conversation on the American Revolution and the founding generation at the heart of America’s Semiquincentennial. Drawing on decades of scholarship and landmark works such as Founding Brothers, American Sphinx, and The Quartet, Ellis reflects on the ideas, personalities, and hard choices that shaped independence and the early republic. Together, Allison and Ellis explore what made the Revolution truly revolutionary, how figures like Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison understood their moment in history, and why the founding era continues to challenge, inspire, and provoke debate 250 years later. Insightful, candid, and deeply engaging, this episode offers listeners a master historian’s perspective on America’s most consequential generation—and the unfinished work they left behind. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
