igniting the american revolution

Igniting the American Revolution brings to life the people of Boston and Massachusetts in the lead up to armed conflict.  There’s a balanced picture of American patriots, British loyalists and royal representatives.  Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Dr. Joseph Warren, Dr. Benjamin Church and General Thomas Gage are not shown as caricatures, but as complete human beings.

Igniting the American Revolution combines people, politics and military insight to create an educational, entertaining and inspirational page turning rendition of history.

Derek Beck thoroughly documents the events in this book, but does not interrupt the narrative with the documentation.
