An evening with Richard Bell author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World

Discover the American Revolution from an entirely new perspective in this compelling presentation by historian and award-winning author Dr. Richard Bell. Rather than viewing the Revolution as a conflict fought only between thirteen colonies and Great Britain, Dr. Bell explores it as a global war that reshaped societies across six continents.

Join us as he traces the far-reaching consequences of the Revolution through the experiences of the people it displaced, empowered, and transformed. This thought-provoking program examines how commerce, diplomacy, migration, propaganda, and warfare combined to create one of the most consequential events in world history—and why its legacy remains relevant today.
