Oblong Books Hosts Author Jack Kelly at Morton Memorial Library: "Tom Paine's War"

In 1776, one man’s words ― and the determination of American patriots ― allowed this nation to survive its first crisis.

“These are the times that try men’s souls...” — Thomas Paine

A tribute to the Revolution’s 250th anniversary, Jack Kelly's book, "Tom Paine’s War: The Words That Rallied a Nation and the Founder for Our Time," is a riveting exploration of this nation’s birth. This is a story of the power of words ― and the power of belief ― and how both speak as well to America’s current crisis.

Oblong Books hosts Kelly in conversation with Dick Hermans at Morton Memorial Library.

Admission with book: $36 (includes one hardcover copy of "Tom Paine's War" and sales tax. Admission only: $10
