Filled with religious fervor and with profound power as the editor of the influential <i>Boston Gazette</i>, Adams was one of the earliest advocates for independence from Great Britain.<br> <br> His dedication to liberty and the crucial part he played in building and sustaining the revolutionary cause are revealed as never before here. “Stoll does a glorious job bringing to life this agitated and revolutionary apostle of liberty, whose passions still reverberate in our nation's soul.
