Age of Revolution

   Though its basic tenets harked back to ancient times, the American Revolution truly was a “shot heard round the world,” resonating from the village greens of Lexington and Concord to the streets of Paris and back again. 250 years later, American democracy continues to serve as a guiding light for much of the world, even as it struggles to prevail in its own birthplace. In recognition of the country’s upcoming anniversary year, three multimedia programs illuminate the conflicting ideologies of the origin period and celebrate democracy’s hard-won triumphs on battlefields spanning the new world and the old. Newly revised and available by subscription for all fans and students of history.
