4.0 out of 5 stars Don't confuse Play and Novel, March 8, 2005

This review is from: Citizen Tom Paine (Hardcover)

Don't confuse "Citizen Tom Paine: A Play in Two Acts" and another book by same author, "Citizen Tom Paine." The novel, first published 1943, reprinted 1983, was used to derive his 1986 play. Regrettably, Amazon once listed them here as the same book, and some sellers are still listing the novel here under the ISBN for the play. So BEWARE.

The image shown is the cover of the play with with Richard Thomas as Paine in the 1985 Williamstown season. The play is about 100 pages with an afterword by Howard Fast.

Tom Paine is portrayed as a, or the, major player in helping bring Americans to the cause of liberty against England, and as a powerful but misunderstood player on the world stage.
