The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

This is a series of chapters that follow one another
Revisado: 02-14-24
The story line was put out in such a way that it made you want to continue listening to the book until the end.
Each chapter was well-researched and followed the course of history from the beginning of the thoughts of revolution after the French & indian war until the Boston tea party and the incidents following the tea party. True results of the boston tea party were shown including the fact that slavery was a issue even during this time. I Fact checked a lot of the statements he made and he is a excellent, well informed writer. This is not a story about the revolutionary war, but it is a story of the facts that led up to it. And a overview of the results.

A course on Sir Lancelot lacks a lot.

Not a story or a tale
Revisado: 02-13-24
This is a series of facts, rather than a story or a tale of some particular knight. This could be used in some type of scholarly setting for learning about how battles were actually fought. But for just reading it does not cut it.
