One of the Founding Fathers of the United States, the English-born political activist Thomas Paine was a philosopher, political theorist and revolutionary. He created two of the most influential pamphlets of the American Revolution, inspiring the rebels in 1776 to declare independence.

The powerful pamphlet 'Common Sense' is the all-time bestselling American title, catering for the rebellious demand for independence from Great Britain.
