What if the story of the American Revolution isn't just American?

In this episode, I'm joined by award-winning historian Sarah M. S. Pearsall to discuss her book Freedom Round the Globe: A World History of the American Revolution.

We often think of the Revolution as a story driven by the Founding Fathers — but Pearsall expands that lens, showing how revolutionary ideas, resistance, and acts of defiance were unfolding across the globe in the 18th century.

This conversation challenges familiar narratives and reveals how marginalized voices and global movements helped shape one of the most defining moments in history.
