Tad Stoermer is a public historian who trained at the University of Virginia, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard, with a particular focus on Colonial and Revolutionary America.

“Bracing, unsentimental and deeply necessary for this moment in American life, Tad Stoermer’s A Resistance History of the United States refuses the soft landing … the idea that progress is inevitable and that justice slowly bends on its own. Instead, he offers a clear-eyed account of how freedom is constructed, defended and repeatedly taken back. This is history written for people who understand that democracy is not inherited … it is fought for. Over and over again.” —Ava DuVernay ""An inspiration for those fighting for democratic rights in the face of authoritarianism."" —Kirkus Reviews ""Readers interested in U.S. history, particularly political and social histories, will find Stoermer's work to be an insightful approach in understanding a pattern of organized resistance movements and how they confronted violence and authority, and attempted to reform structural changes for a better future in America."" —Booklist
