Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jack Rakove will take part in the next Book Talk with AnnArbor.com, meeting Tuesday at 7 p.m.

This month, you, our readers, chose to read and discuss Jack Rakove's new book, "Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America" at the next Book Talk with AnnArbor.com, meeting Tuesday, July 27 at 7 p.m.

Recently, Rakove agreed to be part of the exchange that evening, too, via Skype.

Rakove — who won the Pulitzer for "Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the Constitution" (1996) and teaches at Stanford University — will speak and answer questions from the moderator and attendees during the Book Talk gathering, which will take place in AnnArbor.com's community space at 301 East Liberty Street.

"Revolutionaries" presents the founding fathers — often depicted by our history books as super-humans — as reluctant rebels who had their own dreams of professional success and private happiness.

So mark your calendars, get reading, and join us on July 27. You won't want to miss this.
