Few Americans know that the Revolutionary War did not begin with the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, but over a year earlier, in April 1775. Now historian Derek Beck draws on previously unpublished documents to tell the full story of the war before American independence - from both sides.

Spanning the years 1773 to 1776, this audiobook sweeps listeners from the Boston Tea Party to the halls of Parliament - where Ben Franklin was almost run out of England for pleading on behalf of the colonies - to the fateful expedition to Concord that resulted in the shot heard round the world. Vividly detailed and meticulously researched, this captivating history reveals in a new light the perspectives and events that altered the futures of not only England and America but the whole world.

I loved this book because it showed how wrong Biden is. We all types of weapons are needed because never know when your government becomes your enemy. God Bless America.

This book shows why we need 2nd amendment

...generally left out of the Big Picture...this is History for you. And the author has an agenda - which he readily confesses - regarding the assumed (and unjustified) villainy of Britain. He accomplishes his mission, but the tone throughout resonates of opinion and conclusion. Not a great history lesson, or even a mesmerizing narrative, but excellent research backed by example and specificity.

If you like obscure detail...
