It's an interesting look at the history of how wealth founded and played a part in the foundation of the US. It could be a little tedious but that may be more the subject matter and not the writing. ( ) revolution, historical-figures, historical-places-events, historical-research, financial-backing ***** This is not an unbiased review because we were American Revolutionary War reenactors and are history geeks. But we still learned from the research that the author put into this book. To mention a few things: John Hancock was an experienced smuggler whose ideas were supported by tradesmen and others, the Boston Tea Party dumped in excess of 92,000 pounds of tea but other ports simply refused to allow the tea bearing ships into the harbor. If you didn't already know, the British viewed the colonies as a cash cow with more money and far fewer poor people than Great Britain. I'm not yet finished with it because family members snatch my e reader, and I know that when I get the print copy it will vanish mysteriously! What I have read is excellent and conversations with others who geek eighteenth century American history indicate that we'll all want our own copies. I will want the audio, too! I requested and received a free ebook copy from St Martin's Press via NetGalley. Thank you! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
