''Rise to Rebellion'' is a 2001 historical fiction book by Jeff Shaara that tells the story of the events leading up to the American Revolution. The book spans from the Boston Massacre to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

''Rise to Rebellion'' is the first of a two-part series on the American Revolution, modeled after Jeff and Michael Shaara's Civil War trilogy. It is followed by ''The Glorious Cause''.
==Reception==
''Rise to Rebellion'' received generally positive reviews for its vivid portrayal of the historical events of the American Revolution. ''Booklist'' praised it as "an exciting evocation of events leading up to the formation of America," and ''Publisher's Weekly'' appreciated the book's "passion and vigor."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-345-42753-3 )〕 ''Kirkus Reviews,'' however, called the work "dull" and "disappointing," saying that the characters were "all so burdened by the task of providing the reader with huge dollops of sedulously digested information that Shaara neglects to give them any individual reality."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/fiction/jeff-shaara/rise-to-rebellion/ )〕
''Rise to Rebellion'' spent six weeks on the New York Times fiction bestsellers list from July to August 2001. It peaked at No. 9 on the list in the week of July 22, 2001.
