I'm immensely pleased and honored to announce that The Disaffected has won the American Revolution Round Table of Philadelphia’s Book Award for the best book on the American Revolution Era published in 2019.
Overall, The Disaffected fills two gaps in the historiography of the American Revolution. Not only does it completely tell the story of occupation and its aftermath, but it also forces us to consider individuals who remained disengaged from the terms of affiliation as either loyalist or patriot.
In this outstanding first monograph, Aaron Sullivan focuses on the apolitical inhabitants of the Delaware River Valley who sought to remain aloof from the War of Independence between 1776 and 1779. .... Sullivan’s cogent work is deeply researched and contributes to a fundamental historiographical debate; namely, how much support respective belligerents enjoyed during the conflict
"The story of the Disaffected demonstrates the fear and extremes of the Patriots during the early days of the Revolution. Sullivan’s account does not paint a rosy picture of the Patriots and their behaviors during the war. Civil liberties were often too easily thrown aside so that the Patriots’ message could be forced on unwilling participants....
On a scale of 1 (fie!) to 10 (huzza!): 10"
"....Mr. Sullivan asked, “Is it possible to be neutral during a revolution? Is not choosing a side really choosing a side?” It’s difficult to suspect his audience being ambivalent regarding his lecture. The speaker took a narrow academic topic and presented it in an entertaining way while making it relevant to the present day. Mr. Sullivan is quite the revolutionary himself. "
