The American Revolution and the Fate of the World with Richard Bell

MCHC welcomes Richard Bell, PhD, for an evening lecture event highlighting his most recent publication, The American Revolution and the Fate of the World. Through this book, Dr. Bell reframes America’s war of independence as a transformative international event, one that upended the lives of millions of people on every continent and fundamentally transformed the way the world works; disrupting trade, restructuring penal systems, stirring famine, and creating the first global refugee crisis. Bell conveys the impact of these developments at home and abroad by grounding the narrative in the gripping stories of individuals—including women, minorities, and other disenfranchised people.

The author will be available for book signing 5:30–6:15 p.m. The lecture begins promptly at 6:30 p.m. A light reception will follow.
