—A fictionalized autobiography, Citizen Tom Paine is the best-selling work of historical fiction by author Howard Fast about the life and work of Thomas Paine, particularly in the years before and during the American Revolution. The book follows Tom Paine during his upbringing, journey to America, and his appreciation for the new democracy emerging in his soon-to-be home country. Fast focuses on the realities of Tom Paine's life, portraying him as a relatable hero with a passion for writing, and a revolutionary spirit that Fast argues defines the American way of life.

Among Howard Fast's historical fiction, Citizen Tom Paine-one of America's all-time best-sellers-occupies a special place, for it restored to a generation of readers the vision of Paine's revolutionary passion as the authentic roots of our national beginnings. Fast gives us "a vivid picture of Paine's mode of writing, idiosyncrasies, and character-generous, nobly unselfish, moody, often dirty, frequently drunken, a revolutionist by avocation"-Library Journal
