Within fourteen months he published \u003ci\u003eCommon Sense\u003c\/i\u003e, the most influential pamphlet of the American Revolution, and began a career that would see him hailed and reviled in the American nation he helped create. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollected in this volume are Paine's most influential texts.
