1. "The Common Cause: Creating Race and Nation in the American Revolution" by Robert G. Parkinson - While not solely focused on "Common Sense," this book explores the impact of Paine's ideas on the American Revolution. It discusses how Paine's pamphlet contributed to shaping the concept of nationhood during that time

2. "Common Sense and Related Writings" edited by Thomas P. Slaughter - This book provides an excellent collection of Paine's writings, including "Common Sense." It also includes additional context, commentary, and analysis from various historians, making it a valuable secondary source for understanding Paine's ideas in depth.
