The Disaffected

Aaron Sullivan's audiobook delves into the experiences of a group known as “the disaffected” during the British occupation of Philadelphia in the Revolutionary era. It explores their perspectives amid a turbulent period when revolutionary authorities employed harsh measures to consolidate power, and how both sides viewed these neutrals as opportunistic or treasonous. Through this focus, the book highlights the often-overlooked consequences of a conflict that assumed universal support for independence. It offers a nuanced look at a less-heroic, more complex side of early American history.
