[He] portrays the coming of the Revolution in Virginia as deeply bound up with competing social groups."American Historical Review"

Its lively style and wealth of anecdotes will make it an enjoyable read for anyone."Journal of American Studies"

The main strength of Holton's book is his effort to place the actions of the Virginia gentry within a more detailed local context."Law and History Review"
